Africa Work, Internships, Jobs & Voluntary Work Placements

There are a diverse range of jobs in Africa. Internships in Africa allow you to gain experience on business, veterinary and healthcare placements. Teaching in Africa is popular with people on a gap year. Africa voluntary work teaching English in schools in Cape Town and Johannesberg is rewarding. African orphanage work can be challenging, roles include working with local staff, helping to organise games and activities. After a volunteer community project in South Africa's Kruger National Park or in Kenya’s Masaai Mara game reserve you could consider a new career and train to be a tour guide or move into conservation game reserve management. You could combine voluntary work with a tour in Africa which will get you to see travel highlights on a structured trip.
