The Program

Cheetah Project
The program comprises around 12 hours of lectures and clinical cases and around 35 hours of practicals.  The lectures will take place during the middle of the day so we can get out of the heat.

Each participant will get the opportunity to practice and improve veterinary skills, like monitoring vitals during anaesthesia, applying treatments, administering injections, drawing blood, etc.

​Besides the veterinary work and being involved in wildlife capture ops, there will also be time to join the anti-poaching unit during patrols, learning to track animals, to participate in daily monitoring and feeding of the rhinos and other leisure activities like walking safaris, game drives, boat cruises, visiting Victoria Falls and plenty of evenings spending around the firepit watching the incredible sky full of stars!

Every day is different in Africa and whilst we do our utmost to craft a unique and educational program, it’s crucial to acknowledge that plans in Africa may undergo unexpected changes. As a candidate for this program, adaptability and an adventurous spirit are essential qualities.

Okavango, Chobe & Vic Falls
​

Start your African adventure by travelling overland through Africa on this exciting group camping safari.  You’ll start in Joburg, South Africa and end in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, travelling via wonderful Botswana. 3 countries, 8 days…nice !  Following your tour, it’s just a couple of kms to the Zambia border where we’ll meet you for your Veterinary Experience.

With three bucket-list African destinations in a week this adventure camping safari offers the very best experiences available in Southern Africa. The adventure tour is mainly camping (equipment provided) with one budget hotel night and most meals are included as well as a heap of activities (with others available to book as optional extras).
Upon arrival to Johannesburg airport on the Saturday, our driver will meet you and safely transfer you to a nearby lodge to join your group.  Next morning we hit the road and drive north, with an overnight at Khama Rhino Sanctuary and onward to the world-renowned Okavango Delta. Here we undertake a unique and exciting overnight wildlife safari by dugout canoe, watching the myriad species as they gather at the water’s edge to drink.

Chobe National Park is another A-list safari location, here we hope to see herds of elephant, rare antelopes, lion, hyena and African wild dog.

We finish our journey with an adrenalin fix as you peer over the sheer edge of the thundering waters of Victoria Falls. Go wild if you wish, leap off bridges, take a thrilling white water rafting adventure through rampant rapids of the Zambezi or experience the grandeur of raging Victoria Falls from up high in your micro-light aircraft. Then, cool off with a tranquil sunset cruise along the upper Zambezi River as you watch the African bush go by. Operated by our partner G Adventures, the tour price varies month to month but is usually in the range AU $1,499 - $1,749.
