If you’re interested in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, we have two projects rolled into one. This program is specially designed for participants with studies or qualifications in relevant sciences. Join a team of qualified professionals working with diverse animals and wildlife in South Africa to gain some hands-on experience. Alternatively, gain meaningful experience while helping a busy veterinary doctor catering to low-income pet owners and rescued animals. You can combine these two projects to get an even broader practical knowledge, adding to your wealth of knowledge. With a wide range of diseases and illnesses found in South Africa, especially with welfare cases, this means a high workload for sterilizations. You’ll never have a dull moment!

We place our vet students, interns, nurses, technicians, and qualified participants at two veterinary practices in Knysna. Both have a highly dedicated qualified staff but with different work routines, treatments, and patients. Your placement depends on availability as well as your personal needs, goals, and experience.
