My Travel Story

Hi everyone,
My name is Indy, and I really want to do a wildlife research internship at Phinda Game Reserve in South Africa. This opportunity is more than just an internship, it’s a chance to gain hands-on experience in conservation, ecological monitoring, and wildlife protection, while contributing directly to safeguarding some of the world’s most iconic and threatened species. Exactly what I need for what I want to do for my future career. And to be able to do this for my last semester of my study Animal Management, is going to be a dream come true. 

During my internship, I would be actively involved in:
Tracking and monitoring wildlife populations (including lions, cheetahs, and elephants).
Collecting data to support anti-poaching and habitat management strategies.
Learning from conservation experts about how research drives decision-making.
Supporting sustainable conservation that benefits both wildlife and local communities.
This experience will not only deepen my skills in wildlife research but also help me grow as a conservationist dedicated to protecting ecosystems for future generations.

However, internships like this come with significant costs, including program fees, travel, accommodation, and equipment. That’s why I’m reaching out for support. Your contribution will go directly towards covering these expenses, making it possible for me to take part in this incredible opportunity.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to being on the ground at Phinda, contributing to conservation efforts where they matter most. If you can’t donate, I’d be so grateful if you could share my campaign to help spread the word.

Together, we can make a difference for wildlife and the future of conservation.
