For students-only, the year-round Malawi Veterinary Experience placement will give you a real insight into sanctuary-based vet work.
"Volunteering in Malawi was a life changing experience. It opened up a whole new interest into wildlife and bush medicine that I did not have before going. Helping out in the vet clinic I learnt so much more than I knew back home and will carry the memories I have with me for life. The animals I got the opportunity to work with were spectacular and the people I met along to way, even more so. I was met with kindness and honestly never felt homesick at any point of my volunteering experience. It’s safe to say I have a second home now!" Lily, DEC 2024 Malawi has an incredible diversity of wild animals and habitats but is facing huge threats which include deforestation, pollution, poaching and climate change. This award-winning wildlife rescue centre works at the forefront of many of these challenges, so whether you’re working with our rescued animals or contributing to wildlife research, this is your chance to make a real difference to the conservation bigger picture. You’ll join a friendly team of Malawian and international professionals with expertise in animal care and conservation. Your specific tasks will vary according to the types of animals being cared for at any particular time, but you can expect to get involved in a mix of clinical work and wider welfare activities, including enrichment, integrations, observations and animal husbandry.
