Internship in South Africa

Embark on a unique professional adventure with an internship in South Africa, a nation of stunning landscapes and dynamic markets.

Introduction

South Africa Internship Locations

Known to be a port city, Cape Town is a city on the southwest coast of South Africa, and on a peninsula beneath the imposing Table Mountain. To explore the breathtaking scenic view of Cape Town, rotating cable cars take passengers up to the mountain’s flat top, in which everyone can see the view of the city and the packed harbor with boats on route for Robben Island.

Johannesburg is South Africa's biggest city. At first, the city began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. The Soweto township was once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Currently, Mandela’s former residence is now the Mandela House museum. The Soweto museums (which includes the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill) document the story of the end of segregation.
