Why doing a hotel internship in South Africa?
South Africa is a popular and trendy travel destination. Breathtaking landscapes, eclectic cultural and historical attractions, and friendly residents attract travelers from all over the world to the southernmost country on the African continent. Domestic tourism and the MICE sector (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events) are also well developed.
During a hotel internship in South Africa, you will not only get to know this fascinating country firsthand, but you will also gain valuable experience in the hotel and tourism sector. You will work together with the team of a hotel that receives guests from all over the world, where, besides professional skills, you can also develop your intercultural ones.
How's does it work?
We organize hotel internships in hotels of various standards and sizes in South Africa. In smaller hotels, you are usually a generalist and get insights into all areas of hotel operations. In larger hotels, work is more department-specific.

You will work 45 hours/week on 5 days/week, which may include weekends. Accommodation is provided at the hotel, and you also receive pocket money.
