This is the second time I’ve come to South Africa on an internship program with Bridging Gaps. It was so amazing the last time, that I really wanted to come back again. South Africa is known for its wildlife and biodiversity so it was the obvious choice to do a nature conservation internship here… again!
I was looking to do something that was relevant to my biology course. I wasn’t looking for something specific, but you gave me a load of ideas and options until I found something I thought was really cool.
It was exactly what I wanted really. I had never done research before and here I was able to work on projects, collecting data that actually meant something to people who were doing research for their degrees.
Yip, they were all very nice and very helpful!
Yeah definitely, they gave me quite a few different things to do. I got to be a part of many projects and I got to take the Eland out on my own for monitoring sometimes!
Yeah definitely. I got to use a load of new techniques I’ve never used before and I learned a lot from that.
Yes, I felt like I was involved in many important projects.
Yeah definitely, I’ve learned a lot! Everything I did was relevant to my course.
This is my second time here so I knew what to expect coming here! I never had any concerns.
My first time in Cape Town I spent time in the city itself, and it was really nice. This time around I spent more time in the Southern Suburbs and got to experience a whole new part of Cape Town.
Yes, 100 percent! My mom also came to visit me here and she loved it!
It was all very smooth, very quick and easy. Even though it was my second time with you guys, I still found your services very useful, especially with the internship and arranging my accommodation.
It was really good. Always helpful and friendly!!
Oh, there were lots. The top two features for me would be, firstly, the internships you find for us. Both internships you found for me were incredible and were exactly what I wanted! Second, are the social events you arrange for us. They were just so cool, like the dinners and the trips to cool places were wonderful.

Yeah definitely! I have done that already! Even my mum talks about Bridging Gaps and how you’ve always made it easy for me.
Uhm… I don’t know. I think I didn’t have an answer to this question last time either.
I thought they were really reasonable. Everything else out there is much more expensive. And because this is my second time with Bridging Gaps, you gave me a really amazing discount which as awesome!
You get a lot out of what you paid for. Its probably the best deal you’ll get out there!
