"10/10 Exceeded all of my expectations as a Vet Nurse. I would absolutely recommend this trip to any aspiring vet nurses/students/vets or anyone who has a keen interest in the field” Caitlin “10/10 I felt like I learnt more within the 3 weeks about veterinary nursing than I have in the last year I've been studying.” Ash "10/10 The entire experience was hands on from beginning to end, I honestly can’t recommend this program enough !” Nikita Our original and most popular Wildlife Veterinary Experience, this special program is specifically designed for students as well as vets, vet nurses, vet techs and others already working in the industry wishing to gain more insight into the world of veterinary care at an African wildlife sanctuary. The program is capped at 10 participants per intake to ensure all members of the group have plenty of practical opportunities. Choose between three fantastic itineraries - the February and September intakes and the Harnas Edition (April, August and October groups) are all about veterinary-focussed theory and practical. For those who want to maximise your wildlife veterinary exposure, these are the groups to join. The June and November itineraries are a broader a mix of veterinary, wildlife rehab, husbandry, enrichment and cultural activities – still with plenty of veterinary hands-on during this busy and exciting program, these groups are full of adventures. Click through to the Itinerary page or request the Info Pack below. You can expect to be trained for and participate in the capture and anaesthesia of a variety of resident animals for health check purposes, and other veterinary activities which may arise. Previous groups have been involved in lion health-checks, de-horning of rhino, baboon castrations, meerkat surgery, relocations of cheetah, immobilisation of elephant +++. All the Wildlife Veterinary Experiences can easily be combined with a week or more of general wildlife volunteering at the African Wildlife Sanctuary and/or time spent at the incredible Timbila Reserve research project, or one of the many other project sites the organisation operates around Namibia.
