Africa Wilderness with a capital W ! Paradise like landscapes, the Kilimandjaro and the Nile, huts and victorian architecture. Africa is a crossroads of civilizations, the land before time. |

Internships/Volunteer Jobs in Africa - Recommendation?
I'm looking for a volunteer job/internship in Africa this summer. I'd really love to go to Ethiopia. I'm waiting on some replies from a few organizations there, but if anyone can recommend anything that they have personal experience with, that'd be incredible.

Ive done volunteer gigs with Volunteers for Peace International Workcamps, Voluntary Service Projects, Volunteer Abroad, Volunteers for Peace in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Its a pretty good program. It just really depends on what you want to do. If building schools, homes, etc is your thing then the VFP is for you. If biodiversity type programs is your cup tea then I would suggest looking at African Safaris, African Tours, Africa Holidays and Africa Travel Guide.
