My internship experience in Tanzania through Let’s Go Africa was both educational and impressive. I worked in two hospitals in Arusha — on the maternity ward and the emergency department. The culture and people in Tanzania were incredibly kind and open, which made the experience even more special.

The preparation and communication from Let’s Go Africa were excellent. I felt well-informed before departure and had smooth contact with my coordinator. The accommodation was clean, well-organized, and comfortable. Although on-site supervision could have been stronger, I look back on my internship very positively.

I would definitely recommend Let’s Go Africa to others. It's a great opportunity to grow personally and professionally in a completely different environment. This experience will stay with me forever.

I experienced my internship in collaboration with Let's Go Africa as a very positive experience. The guidance provided before the start of the project was well-organized, and there were regular check-ins during the project as well.

I learned a lot from working in a hospital where not all resources are readily available. This strengthened my creative and problem-solving skills. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.

We were with the two of us and created a project together based on our first day at work. In the end, we delivered a result we were proud of, and the department was satisfied with it as well.

I was also very happy with the hostel accommodation. Staying in a hostel allowed us to share our experiences at the end of the day and learn from each other’s projects.

An unforgettable and meaningful experience in Cape Town

Through LetsGo Africa, I went to South Africa. As a recent social work graduate from the Netherlands, I had the opportunity to shadow and support local Youth and Care Workers for six weeks. I spoke with children and young people, visited schools, and participated in group programs. What touched me most were the open conversations and the trust I received from young people growing up in vulnerable conditions.

The culture took some adjusting – the pace is slower and plans often change – but that taught me to be flexible and truly live in the moment. While the reality in Cape Town can be confronting at times, I always felt welcomed and appreciated. After the volunteer work, I ended my trip with a week in Kruger National Park – the perfect way to reflect and relax.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of other cultures, social issues, and themselves. A unique and valuable opportunity!
