Project Summary

What is the Hospitality Management Internship all about?

During your Hospitality Management Internship in Africa, you will have the opportunity to work with an Award winning backpacker accommodation in either Cape Town, South Africa or Ezulwini Valley, eSwatini. Both projects accommodate for international guests and perform a variety of duties involved with hospitality management including admissions, attractions, transportations, amongst others.

The internship will provide you an overview of how to run a lodge in a country other than your own. This work experience will provide you with a different perspective than an internship back home as you will be exposed to international guests and international staff in a foreign country. 

This is a great opportunity to help you stand out from the crowd as you get ready to embark on a new career!


Why choose this Hospitality internship in Africa?

  • Gain practical hands on experience in your field of study in a non-conventional environment
  • Discover a new country and gain experience catering towards international guests that are intested in responsible tourism
  • Meet like-minded individuals and make local friends along the way

Role of the Hospitality Intern

As an intern, you will be expected to bring your knowledge and experience with you. Upon arrival you will be assigned a mentor to guide you through your Hospitality Management internship. After a few days of induction, you will assist in the daily operations of what is involved in running an international backpacker. Tasks may include booking and assist checking guests in, be involved with the monitoring of the stock and preparing meals. You may also be involved in marketing campaigns. You will certainly develop your guest relations and customer services skills during this placement as you perform frontline duties.

You will also be expected to take on some of your own responsibilities and create your own goals to get the most out of the experience.


What skills do I need to be a Hospitality Magamenet Intern?

Hopspitality Management Interns are expected to bring some knowledge and/or experience in the area they are working in.

Applicants must speak English fluently and be very patient and sensitive as you accommodate for the needs of the guests. You will be asked to send your CV/resume and process through an interview before being accepted onto this project.

The Location

Where will I work in Africa?

About the location
The Hospitality Management Internship can be based either in the bustling city of Cape Town in South Africa, or the mountainous environment of the Ezulwini Valley in eSwatini (formerly known as Swaziland).

Sitting at the feet of the iconic Table Mountain, Cape Town offers multiculturalism through a diverse arts and dining scene and a very active nightlife. During your day in your spare time, you will have the chance to enjoy pristine white beaches.

If you choose to be in eSwatini, then, you will be located in the “place of heaven” (meaning of Ezulwini). The valley extend over many kilometers and is a touristy landmark well known for its natural and cultural attractions.

Accommodation
In either location, you will be lodged at an Award Winning Backpacker amongst young guest in the area for festivals, volunteering, interning, or just backpacking around Africa.

What to do in your spare time
Both location offer plenty of locations to go explore if you want to venture away during the weekends.Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
