Situated on a Big 5 Game Reserve, this programme allows budding vets to get authentic experience with some of the most loved species on the planet. Volunteers will work alongside real vets and wildlife experts and learn first-hand how they help to look after the animals on the reserve. 

Volunteers will gain practical and theoretical knowledge, giving them a well-rounded view of life as a wildlife vet. Typical activities include assisting with minor operations, helping with the application of vitamin boosters, monitoring the behavior of the animals, and treating parasites - to name a few. In addition to hands-on veterinary care, participants learn about the life of a vet on a game reserve, including wildlife management and conservation.

The programme is looking for pro-active and enthusiastic volunteers with a real drive and desire to help. Based close to Port Elizabeth, volunteers will get to enjoy the sea and surf on their weekends. A perfect way to relax after all the hard work!

Accommodation is located on-site and three meals are provided per day.
