Joining our program is more than just signing up for a course—it’s stepping into one of the most rewarding adventures of your life. Here, you don’t sit on the sidelines. You jump in, get your hands dirty, and experience real animal work from the very start. We believe in learning by doing, and you’ll feel that energy every single day.
Your time with us is a colourful blend of fieldwork, lively interactive lectures, and unforgettable outings to Private Game Reserves, nature estates, livestock farms, and other iconic South African spots that bring your studies to life.
And the best part? No two days ever look the same. Plans may shift as exciting new opportunities pop up—maybe a surprise wildlife encounter, an impromptu veterinary procedure in the field, or a spontaneous chance to explore something extraordinary. Flexibility is all part of the fun, making every moment both educational and thrilling.
This Pre-Vet internship, we believe the most powerful learning happens through hands-on involvement. Situated on a commercial livestock farm in the heart of Cathcart, South Africa, our program immerses you directly in the world of large animals—including horses, sheep, and cattle—while also introducing you to small animals, diverse wildlife habitats, and nearby game farms.
Intern Requirements
No experience is required for our program and we accept students from different backgrounds. This program is designed to give students a hands-on veterinary experience, whether it be to build up a resume, to decide if veterinary medicine is right for you, or just to experience the wildlife of Africa while helping animals.
