About our Program
Embark on a Unique Wildlife Veterinary Educational Adventure
Welcome to Wildest Vet’s exclusive Veterinary Wildlife and Marine Program, set in the southern-most malaria-free region of South Africa. This immersive program is designed specifically for veterinarians, veterinary students, and nurses who are passionate about wildlife conservation and eager to gain hands-on experience in the field.
Two Unique Options
Choose between our two specialized options: a 12-day terrestrial-focused program with marine exposure, or a 10-day marine-focused program with terrestrial exposure. Both options are designed to provide a comprehensive, hands-on experience in wildlife veterinary care. Our terrestrial-focused program ensures that you’ll engage with a variety of species, including marine mammals, birds, and turtles, as they present themselves, offering a holistic approach to wildlife conservation and veterinary medicine.
Why Choose Our Program?
At Wildest Vet, we offer a reality-based educational adventure that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Participants will have the unique opportunity to work alongside experienced wildlife veterinarians, engaging in both scheduled and unscheduled hands-on capture and care procedures. Our program provides a comprehensive understanding of wildlife veterinary medicine, focusing on the conservation and management of both terrestrial and marine species.
Hands-On Experience with a Variety of Species
Our program is tailored to provide exposure to a diverse range of wildlife, and we strive to maximize your learning adventure by including encounters with the Big 5 and some of the world’s most majestic and endangered species. Whenever one of the gentle giants presents with a veterinary need, you will have the opportunity to engage directly. You’ll gain practical skills in handling and treating a wide array of animals, from rhinos and elephants to agile predators like lions, as well as various antelopes and other terrestrial species. Additionally, our unique bilateral program includes marine mammals, birds, and turtles, offering a holistic view of wildlife care as marine species present themselves.
