PROJECT OVERVIEW

As an intern on the Marine Research & Whale Shark Conservation Project, you will gain experience in a broad range of data collection techniques and learn all about the conservation status and current research of some of the most at-risk marine species. You will gain dive experience and contribute towards our ongoing projects working with these animals, be trained for in-water data collection, receive tutorials in real-data analysis using the latest software, understand the nuances of citizen science and public engagement, get to know and work with local communities in Mozambique and so much more!

 Before departure, you will meet our staff in the field during an online project consultation to ensure your internship is catered to your requirements (research and work experience interns accepted) - whether you are a biology graduate, a current student at a university, taking a sandwich year during university, a part of a large university group or a postgraduate researcher, we can accommodate for all.

YOUR ROLE

Qualified divers are invited to join our resident Marine Biologist and Project Coordinator, along with project volunteers to involve themselves in all aspects of our Marine Research. Interns will receive presentations and tutorials about all our ongoing projects, be involved with data collection and entry, all while getting to know the beautiful beachside town of Tofo. Although SCUBA diving might not be essential for your personal project, we highly recommend participating in the SCUBA diving element to fully immerse yourself in our full range of research projects (pun intended!). You will be expected to be able to comfortably swim at least 200m unaided in open water. If you are not already dive qualified you can add a course to gain the necessary qualification - please enquire for the extra cost.

Below we have some examples of our ongoing research projects, which you can also use as inspiration for your own research plans and specialisation for the remainder of your stay.

All year round

Whale Shark

The Whale Shark component of the Project involves joining ocean safaris to snorkel with Whale Sharks in the open ocean. It involves taking underwater photographs for identifying the Whale Sharks as well as recording other ecological information. As a summary, you will collect the following information on the Whale Sharks:

  • Date, GPS location, surface and underwater conditions
  • Size, sex, scars/distinctive features, the behavior of the Whale Shark
  • You will take an ID photograph and identify each Whale Shark & record re-sightings
All year round

Dolphin

You will be collecting data which enables dolphin numbers and the behaviours to be recorded and uploaded onto databases to share with our Marine Partners.

Of particular interest in this study is dolphin the behavior in relation to tourism.

All year round

Coral Reef and Estuary

This involves carrying out underwater data collection on indicator species of coral fish and the condition and cover of coral and echinoderms on the reefs. Estuary areas are also studied and monitored.

You will be taught how to select a sample area and what type of data to record, then taught how this data is recorded and used in studies and monitoring.

All year round

Monitoring of various other species

Sightings of various species are noted and at different times there could be studies underway of a number of other species.  Other species studied and monitored at the Marine Research Centre at various times include seahorses, turtles, manta rays, guitar  fish - amongst others

June – October

Humpback Whales

Monitor the numbers of Humpbacked Whales on their seasonal migration up and down the coast. This involves sand dune based observations using binoculars and boat-based observations recording the numbers of Whales, the makeup of the pods and the behaviors witnessed. 

All year round

General Environment

A number of more general environmental awareness and clean-up activities will be also carried out during the project.  This could include collaboration with local wasted collection and recycling charity, beach clean ups and also regular micro-plastic surveys are conducted of random samples of the beach. 

Please note: The activities listed above are based on availability and may vary by season. These are samples of activities that are volunteers are likely to participate in. We can not guarantee sightings of whale sharks or any other species.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our interns come from all kinds of backgrounds and corners of the globe. We would expect you to be studying or have studied in a relevant field and/or have relevant experience to ensure you are able to make a worthwhile contribution.  Ask us if you are not sure about your suitability.  We expect you to have a dive qualification, minimun level Open Water Diver - but it is possible to include a dive course in your first week at extra cost

This can vary but typically you will start your day around 08:00am to arrive at your project and get started around 08:30. There is always a lunch break of at least one hour, and projects will resume in the afternoon with a finish time around 15:30. You'll have plenty of free time to relax and explore in the evenings and at weekends.

You are likely to be the only intern at your project but each month we have a variety of volunteers join us from all over the world. In most cases you will be staying at a lodge with shared accommodation with perhaps 2-6 volunteers. The volunteers will be involved in the same research projects and have roughly the same itinerary as you - though often they stay for shorter durations.

We get lots of young adults aged 18-25 on our programmes but we also often welcome those aged from 16 up and adults on a career break, adventure holiday or those who are retired. Sometimes we have amazing families who choose to volunteer as a vacation! Our projects are suitable for every age!

Please don't book your flights until we have confirmed your place and project dates.  For this project you must fly into Inhambane and your should plan your arrival for the first Monday of the month and your departure for the relevant Monday depending how many weeks you wish to stay.  Most flights arrive/depart in the afternoons, we are quire flexible with times at this project location.

Please check with your primary healthcare provider for the most current advice and let them know that you will be traveling to southern Africa. They may want to make sure all of your vaccinations are up to date and may have health recommendations for you. Essentially, it is up to you to seek current advice and decide whether you want to want to get vaccinated or take any malaria prophylaxis.

Visa requirements will depend on your nationality and it is your own responsibility to check whether or not you need a visa, so make sure you check on your local governments’ travel site for the most up to date information. However, many nationalities are able to obtain a 30-day tourist visa on entry at the border form a small cost. If you are staying for longer periods our staff will help you with an extension in the country (there is a larger cost involved for this), or you can apply for a longer duration by using Mozambique's e-visa online application. You may still need to visit an official office in Maxixe to get your passport re-stamped after 30 days, though.

It is your own responsibilty to obtain sufficient insurance cover for medical emergencies and other mishaps that could occur on your trip. It is strongly recommended that all volunteers have a valid travel insurance policy that will cover them for the duration of their stay.

By signing up with us you are donating your time and skills to work directly with communities in need through a structured project. There are many benefits of interning with an organization like ours. Sometimes it is hard to find opportunties and projects to support in a foreign country that are safe, worthwhile and reputable. When you sign-up for one of our projects for 2 or 12-weeks, you become part of a bigger, sustainable plan that our team of qualified staff has carefully crafted. You will also receive travel and visa support, orientation, a safe place to stay, logistical support, in addition to clear expectations of the work you will do. This is why we charge a fee for interning abroad.

Your project fee goes towards a company you can trust, an experience that is worthwhile and an opportunity that will make a positive and sustainable impact on the community you have chosen to serve.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • As part of the project activities, you will complete an internationally recognised dive qualification during a normal 4-week program, along with 11 or 12 ocean activities (ocean safaris or research dives) depending on the dive course chosen. Numbers of ocean safaris and research dives are calculated accordingly for shorter/longer programs (typically 4 ocean activities per week - 3 dives and one ocean safari).
  • In order to carry out the activities required of you in the Marine Conservation Project you will need to be a capable swimmer (able to swim 100m unassisted) and snorkeler; being able to hold your breath to dive down would be an advantage.
  • Interns who have certain pre-existing medical conditions or are over 45 years of age must also bring a medical clearance letter from their doctor permitting them to dive. or have a physician sign their medical statement form.
  • Any Interns taking Lariam/Mefloquine/Mephliam/Tropicure (or any other derivatives) as anti-malarial treatment (prophylaxis) will not be permitted to dive, as it causes increased risks when diving. Please advise your doctor that you are going on a dive holiday and request another suitable anti-malarial treatment.
  • Accredited divers must bring their dive cards (listing their last logged dive) with them to the project site as proof.
  • Dive accredited Interns not requiring/wanting a dive course (tif already qualified) but who have not logged a dive within 6 months of their project will need to complete a Scuba Review before they can participate in their research dives. The cost of a Scuba Review is not included in the project cost and a small fee will be paid locally for this directly to the dive center we partner with.
  • The Open Water Diver certificate qualifies volunteers to dive up to 18 meters and some of our dive sites are between 20-30 meters deep. It is not essential to dive at these deeper sites, but should you wish to participate in deep diving (up to 30 meters) you will either need to complete a Deep Dive course at a small additional local cost, or there is also the option to complete an Advanced Open Water Diver Course at an additional cost.
  • Ask for our fish-list if you would like a head start on coming to grips with all the different species that you will be seeing on your dives!
  • All Participants on this project MUST fill out a diver medical statement form (ask us for this) and bring the form to the project. You will not be allowed to dive without completing and signing the form - the dive centre has extra copies of the form but any participant aged over 45 or with certain mecdical conditions will need to have their doctor sign it before they travel to Mozambique.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Kruger to Coast Adventure Tour will take you through some of the best that southern Africa has to offer in terms of wildlife, culture and beaches.

Begin in Eswatini where you will get involved in grassroots community projects and make an active contribution to improve the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children.

Embark on a 5-day camping safari through the world-famous Kruger National Park to spot big game. Venture to tropical Mozambique where you spend time on world-class Indian Ocean beaches.

Not only will you have the amazing opportunity to see some of Africas most incredible wildlife, snorkel with Whale Sharks and paddle to tropical palm-fringed islands but you will also have the opportunity to participate in an important community development projects.

YOUR ROLE

There are 3 distinct parts to this travel experience each with its own interesting flavour.

In Kruger National Park, you will be joining a camping safari holiday. Here your days will be spent on game drives searching for the incredibly diverse wildlife that this world-renowned national park has to offer, while at night you will be camped out under the African stars, sitting around a crackling campfire listening to tales of the African bush. While In Kruger, your guide will teach you about the animals and plants of the African Savannah and how important it is to protect this beautiful but fragile Eco-system.

When you arrive in the beautiful mountainous Kingdom of Eswatini your role will switch to volunteer as you get involved in projects that aim to uplift the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children.

Volunteers have the option of choosing the following projects:

Childcare which involves assisting the teachers at our Neighbourhood Care Points (NCP’s), which act as pre-schools for orphaned and vulnerable children (6-week option only)

Savannah & Wildlife Conservation

This project involves conducting multiple types of research with different species. Some of the conservation activities are conducted at specific times of the year whilst others are conducted all year round. Our coordinating project scientists will teach you how to assist with data collection throughout your project duration.

Building

This involves projects such as laying bricks for new classrooms or maintaining the gardens at our NCPs

Sports

This includes assisting with running sporting activities with our NCP children including swimming lessons (depending on the season)

Childcare

This involves assisting the teachers at our Neighbourhood Care Points (NCPs), which act as pre-schools for orphaned and vulnerable children - (6-week option only)

The final week of your experience is spent on the beautiful golden sand beaches of sunny Mozambique. After two weeks of hard work in Eswatini it’ll be time to relax in this tropical climate and swim the blue waters of the warm and inviting Indian Ocean. Mozambique is a colorful and vibrant African country like no other and it is here that you will get to spend the last days of your trip -a wonderful finale to an inspiring tour.

As the children become very excited about new arrivals, the frequent change-over of volunteers disrupts the study and the impacts on attachment issues experienced by the children. 6 and 8 weeks Kruger to Coast volunteers, however, will have the chance to participate in assisting with the teaching and care of the children.

During this time you will also be supported to obtain your visa to enter Mozambique (the cost of a visa is not included in the program cost) and will also visit the Mantenga Cultural Village where you will have the chance to experience traditional Swazi culture and lifestyle as well as witness traditional dancing and singing. You will also be invited to participate in learning the local dance moves!

Day 21 - 26

Mozambique is world-famous for its idyllic tropical beaches on the Indian Ocean. As a former Portuguese colony that has come out of a prolonged civil war, it is now booming as quite possibly Africa’s top beach destination. Tofo is a laid-back beach village in southern Mozambique and offers some of the best opportunities in the world to snorkel in the wild with the world’s biggest fish – the Whale Shark. With diverse coral reefs, Whales, Manta Rays, dolphins and nesting turtles Tofo is a marine paradise and yet it is relatively close to the vibrant historic trading port of Inhambane.

We venture on a 7-day tour to Tofo where you will experience the laid-back beach lifestyle of this colorful and vibrant country. You will take an ocean safari to snorkel with the magnificent Whale Shark and also have a full day kayak trip across the blue waters to the palm-fringed islands in the Inhambane Bay. If you are a certified diver you will have the opportunity of exploring the spectacular fish life of the coral reefs! There is also the option to take part in an Internationally Accredited Open Water or Advanced Dive Course (extra cost) should you wish to dive. Here you’ll have the opportunity of exploring the spectacular fish life of the coral reefs and the chance to find the “Tofo Big 5” – Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, turtles, dolphins and Humpback Whales.

There are plenty of optional extra activities including beach horse rides, quad biking, mangrove kayaking, surfing, body boarding, deep sea fishing and catamaran cruises. A beach party or two is par for the course and some chill time on the beach is guaranteed Mozambique is a true gem on the east African coastline, an unspoiled paradise waiting to be explored!

Day 28

At the Lodge in Eswatini you will have a full day to relax, pack up and make preparations for your departure the following day (4-week volunteers).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our volunteers come from all kinds of backgrounds and corners of the globe. If you have a special expertise you can offer we love that! But you don’t need any experience to volunteer on our projects.

This can vary but typically you will depart from your accommodation around 08:00am to arrive at your project and get started around 08:30. There is always a lunch break of at least one hour, and projects will resume in the afternoon with a finish time around 16:00. You'll have plenty of free time to relax and explore in the evenings and at weekends.

Each month we have a variety of volunteers join us from all over the world. In most cases you will be staying at a lodge with shared accommodation with perhaps 4-20+ other volunteers, however, these volunteers may be split amongst several different volunteer projects during the day. This is a great opportunity to meet and mix with volunteers who have different interests, but still get to have an intimate project experience!

We get lots of young adults aged 18-25 on our programmes but we also often welcome those aged from 16 up and adults on a career break, adventure holiday or those who are retired. Sometimes we have amazing families who choose to volunteer as a vacation! Our projects are suitable for every age!
Please don't book your flights until we have confirmed your place and advised you on which airport you must fly to and on any time restrictions you must stick to in order to meet our transfers.

Please check with your primary healthcare provider for the most current advice and let them know that you will be traveling to southern Africa. They may want to make sure all of your vaccinations are up to date and may have health recommendations for you. Essentially, it is up to you to seek current advice and decide whether you want to want to get vaccinated or take any malaria prophylaxis.

Visa requirements will depend on your nationality and it is your own responsibility to check whether or not you need a visa, so make sure you check on your local governments’ travel site for the most up to date information. However, many nationalities are able to obtain a 30-day tourist visa on entry at the border. If you are staying for longer periods our staff will help you with an extension in the country.

It is your own responsibilty to obtain sufficient insurance cover for medical emergencies and other mishaps that could occur on your trip. It is strongly recommended that all volunteers have a valid travel insurance policy that will cover them for the duration of their stay.

By signing up with us you are donating your time and skills to work directly with communities in need through a structured project. There are many benefits of volunteering with an organization like ours. Sometimes it is hard to find projects to support in a foreign country that are safe, worthwhile and reputable. When you sign-up for one of our projects for 2 or 12-weeks, you become part of a bigger, sustainable plan that our team of qualified staff has carefully crafted. You will also receive travel and visa support, orientation, a safe place to stay, logistical support, in addition to clear expectations of the work you will do. This is why we charge a fee for volunteering or interning abroad.

Your project fee goes towards a company you can trust, an experience that is worthwhile and an opportunity that will make a positive and sustainable impact on the community you have chosen to serve.
