About Program

If it’s wildlife you’re interested in, Africa is the place for you. While there’s plenty of places in the world with exciting wild animals, no place is quite like the African bush, where you can find yourself surrounded by large herds of elephants, roaring big cats, and towering giraffes. In the stunning wilderness of South Africa and Zimbabwe, we offer wildlife conservation internships that will give you the experience of a lifetime.

As an intern on one of these wildlife programs, you can do exciting field research, contribute to conservation through wildlife photography, or learn how to be a field guide. Either way, you’ll live and work in the African bush, gain practical experience and a thorough understanding of wildlife conservation in Africa, and support important field work. All logistics will be provided, and we offer on the ground support.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Roots Interns for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Impact 🌎

Having started off as the offshoot of an urban greening project, Roots Interns has always been aware of our environmental impact. That's why we work with projects and accommodations that are also actively aware of their impact and striving to make a positive difference. By consciously choosing partners that have sustainable practices in place, we can work towards balancing out any impacts on the environment with equally positive actions.
Roots Interns was built around a need for qualified interns in the sustainable development sector. Whether supporting environmental or wildlife conservation or social development, our internships leave a tangible positive footprint on people’s lives and their environment. Working at a grassroots level ensures that the needs of host communities are always at the forefront, no matter the specific cause. Many of our partners support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, further aligning our internships with creating sustainable change. We take great pride in the impact our interns create with the organization they work with and the connections they're able to make in new locations and cultures.
