Animal Science Internships

Experience the beauty of South Africa’s wildlife while building your career through our Animal Science Internships in Cape Town and across the country. With South Africa’s incredible biodiversity, interns gain hands-on experience working with a wide variety of wild animals, domestic animals, birds, reptiles, and even marine life.

As an animal science intern, you can contribute to wildlife conservation, veterinary support, animal rehabilitation, animal behaviour studies, and marine biology projects. Cape Town is especially renowned for its marine conservation programmes, offering opportunities to work with sea animals such as seals, seabirds, and sharks, while also being home to top wildlife reserves and animal care facilities.

We connect students and graduates with nature conservation projects, veterinary clinics, wildlife rehabilitation centres, and marine research organisations. At the same time, companies and conservation programmes benefit from enthusiastic interns who are passionate about animal care, research, and environmental sustainability.

Whether your interest lies in wildlife conservation, veterinary science, animal husbandry, or marine biology, our animal science internship programmes in Cape Town provide the perfect opportunity to gain valuable experience and make a real impact.
