Vets for Wildlife Program

This hands-on program is designed for students seeking deeper insight into wildlife veterinary care, animal welfare on sanctuaries, and broader conservation efforts in Namibia. Based at a well-established Wildlife Sanctuary, the experience offers a mix of practical exposure and educational enrichment in the fields of wildlife medicine, ecology, and research. Over the course of two weeks, participants will learn about Namibia’s unique wildlife, conservation challenges, and the role of veterinary support in managing both sanctuary animals and those in the wild. The program includes behind-the-scenes activities with the on-site vet team, and—depending on current cases—may involve overnight visits to nearby farms, conservation centres, or other sanctuaries to assist with medical treatment, rescues, or relocations. Because the program responds to real-time needs, it is highly flexible. Students should be prepared to travel on short notice and adapt to the changing demands of veterinary and conservation work on the ground.

Traveling half way around the world to volunteer effort, time and energy on marine conservation takes trust. GoEco delivered, far exceeding any preconceived expectations and hopes we had before arriving on Naifaru. The entire team provided thorough support, training and guidance so that we could participate, contribute and perform to our utmost potential. We left with a tremendous sense of achievement, accomplishment and countless unforgettable memories.

A valuable and enriching experience.

Hi guys here the feedback I sent to AOA: Jule and Gércia are doing an outstanding job! The program was very well organized, and all questions were always addressed – whether directly related to the tasks or more general matters. I felt well supported at all times. I especially want to highlight how valuable it is to have a local Mozambican staff member like Gércia on the team. She not only brings maritime knowledge but also shares important insights about local customs and culture – a huge asset! When Jule was away for a few days with another group, Gércia took over the leadership of our group, smoothly managed any changes to the plan, and handled everything very professionally. You truly have a fantastic team, and that deserves to be appreciated! Food & Meals The food was consistently delicious – thank you, Brodie and the Tilak Lodge team! However, after two weeks, I noticed that some meals repeated quite often. It would be great if AOA could give Brodie a bit more flexibility and resources to offer more variety in the menu. I'm sure with more freedom, Brodie could surprise us with even more creative and diverse meals! Scuba Diving The guides at Tofo Scuba were excellent – professional, experienced, and always supportive. Whether it was the Advanced Open Water course, ocean safaris, or fun dives, I always felt safe and in very good hands. They made every dive a great experience, and I appreciated their clear briefings, calm presence, and strong awareness of safety and the environment. Suggestions for Improvement – Equipment There is definitely room for improvement when it comes to technical equipment: There are clearly not enough GoPros/underwater cameras for the volunteers. The printer is currently unusable due to empty ink cartridges – and no replacements were available. Coming from a technical/IT background myself, I was honestly surprised at how outdated and overused some of the devices are. One or two new laptops or computers would make a real difference and improve the workflow on site. Final Words of Appreciation I usually don’t give such detailed feedback – but Jule, Gércia, Brodie and the Tilak Lodge team, as well as Ross and the Tofo Scuba crew, all deserve a big compliment. Thank you for this valuable and enriching experience!
