Here is a selection of different activities which we have classed as ‘Simple Excursions’ in the calculator above.
Bridging Gaps can help organise all of the excursions above
Bridging Gaps is one of a handful of providers of internships and volunteering opportunities in Cape Town. We have created three packages of internship programmes to suit all budgets and needs.
Our most basic internship programme (Bootstrap) costs £995 and our advanced internship programme (Concierge) costs £1495.
Bootstrap has a lower fee than the other internship programme providers, it is for budget-conscious travellers who wish to build their experience base on a shoestring. Concierge offers a higher level of service and multiple extra benefits for an additional cost – which still makes it cheaper than other providers’ programmes.
Unfortunately due to South African law, paid internships are not available to foreigners without a work permit and sponsorship from a local company. These are EXTREMELY difficult to obtain, therefore the norm in Cape Town is that all internships are offered on a voluntary basis. We will soon be publishing a comparison of different providers’ internship programme prices.
