Join our expert team on this exclusive 2-week Vets for Wildlife program that will offer you a Wildlife vet safari experience with hands-on and behind the scenes activities.
This program is ideal for adventurous and flexible students, who want to experience the “real” side of wildlife research, volunteering and veterinary activities on a day to day basis. These students have a passion for wildlife, conservation and research.
The program is based at a Wildlife Sanctuary but overnight visits to other wildlife conservation centres, sanctuaries and farms is possible depending on the active cases at the time.
Be ready to pack your bags at short notice and join the research and vet team as they visit surrounding farms and other sanctuaries to tend to emergencies and active cases.
