Internship at Watamu Snake Farm
- Kenya
- Mombasa
About Program
Set in the idyllic coastal town of Watamu, the Watamu Snake Farm provides a unique opportunity to work closely with both venomous and non-venomous snakes under the guidance of highly trained snake handlers. Ideal for Veterinary and Medical students, students studying conservation or anyone fascinated by snakes and reptiles.
Participants will get practical, hands-on experience in the day-to-day running of the organisation and the chance to work with a variety of venomous and non-venomous reptiles. You will also have the opportunity to work in the local community educating adults and children about how to prevent snakebite, and what to do in the event that someone has been bitten by a snake.
A placement with us will be a massively rewarding experience, allowing you not only to gain knowledge of the fascinating world of reptiles but to work with and help local communities combat this devastating disease.
