Veterinary Internship at Kilimanjaro

Submit a ReviewNo Reviews
2007Year established

Program Overview

Dr. Mnyoni's private veterinary clinic is located in the center of Moshi Town. Dr. Mnyoni is an experienced vet who has employed two young fellow vets.

Around 60% of their work involves treating livestock on farms and fields. They primarily treat cows, pigs, chickens, goats, donkeys, and poultry. Vets usually move around Kilimanjaro every day from 8 am to 5 pm. As an intern, you can accompany them and actively participate in their work, such as diagnosing and treating animal diseases on farms and pastures, and administering vaccinations and inseminations.

The remaining 40% of their work hours are spent treating domestic animals and pets such as dogs and cats, conducting surgery and post-mortem diagnoses, and selling animal food and supplies.

This internship is possible for anyone who would like to experience the work of an African vet. You don't need to be a veterinary medicine student; however, supervised professional internships are also possible.
