This unique experience gives you the chance to join the day-to-day activities of highly respected vets in one of South Africa’s most prolific areas for wildlife.
Under their expert guidance, you’ll find yourself treating species you may have only read about or seen on television before – often in situations that are unpredictable and require you to think on your feet.
Build skills for your career
Working hands-on with animals such as cheetah, rhino and eagles is an unforgettable experience. But we know you want more than memories from your time in Africa. That's why we partner you with a vet whose specialisms match your ambitions, enabling you to develop the skills you need for the next step in your career.
Conservation impact
In South Africa, wildlife vets don’t just treat injured and sick animals. They also play a key role in the conservation and management of wildlife populations, including the capture and relocation of animals, disease prevention and anti-poaching procedures such as the humane dehorning of rhino.
As a veterinary volunteer, you'll get to experience first hand what it takes to work as a vet in wild Africa.
