Experience a unique opportunity with Elonga Internship CC to complete an internship or volunteer program in Namibia. Support local projects, gain valuable international work experience, and explore Namibia’s inspiring culture, landscapes, and wildlife. For over ten years, Elonga has been your trusted partner for unforgettable internships and volunteer experiences in Africa, with the Elonga Hostel in Windhoek at the heart of it all.
“The Elonga programme was founded in 2007 by Gerda Schuler. She wanted to give interns and volunteers the chance to gain personal and affordable professional experience. In 2008, Elonga was brought to life. It is located near Windhoek’s CBD. This way, interns and volunteers don’t have long trips to and from work, and a secured home where they can feel at home and easily connect with others.
We are the bridge that connects you, regardless of age, gender, or nationality, to the people and opportunities that help you learn from the best and become one of the best in your field.
Our mission is to help interns and volunteers from all around the world to find the most affordable internships or volunteer programmes of their choice in Namibia.
We support you in finding the best internship or volunteer work – to give you that edge you need for your success in your chosen work field.
We are well-connected and can, therefore, offer you an internship or volunteer work in very different areas. In the past, we successfully placed interns and volunteers in the following areas.
We work closely with a big architectural office. Here, you can actively participate in smaller or larger projects.
You can work at a local farm and learn about the life as a farmer and about Namibia’s fascinating nature.
Whether it is in a hotel, in a travel agency or in other towns or cities: you will meet all kinds of people and learn about the country.
In the social field we always need helpers. We offer the great opportunity to support local projects and organizations and to do good.
The local schools always have a high demand for helpers and interns.
Whether student, teacher or persionary: Here we are grateful for every helping hand.
We are always looking for students, doctors and nurses who would like to do a voluntary internship in one of the local hospitals.
The Villa Elonga is situated in the beautiful suburb of Windhoek West, in walking-distance from the city.
This idyllic place, the relaxed atmosphere and great location will soon feel like home. You will feel safe and happy here, thanks to the professional security team which is near by and the fact that we have an excellent security system plus our two dogs Annie and Dora who are constantly monitoring our place. Gerda Schulder, the founder and supervisor, is one of the most significant reasons why Elonga hostel feels like home. For many years she’s been dedicated to taking care of our place and all its residents.
Our home offers a total of 7 rooms, including single, double and multi-bed rooms.
All our rooms feature separate beds, a desk and a private shower. The larger bedrooms are designed to provide enough room for multiple people to live together comfortably. This way, it never gets boring and, oftentimes, the residents living in these rooms develop long-lasting and strong friendship.
Our kitchen is fully equipped, and everyone can cook to their hearts’ content. Here, interns, volunteers and visitors have easy access to refreshments. The best thing, however, is the communal mealtime which is usually enjoyed in a relaxed and familial atmosphere under the stars, under the shade of the trees or sometimes even next to the pool.
Apart from the rooms and the kitchen, the pool, two terraces and lots of green areas offer abundant space to spend fun times together or to find some peace and quiet by yourself.
We want everyone to have the opportunity to benefit from our program. That’s why we place great importance on a transparent pricing structure and an exceptional price-performance ratio.
