Taking African Wildlife Veterinary Medicine To New Heights

Have you ever darted a giraffe from a helicopter or moved a sable antelope?
Have you fitted a satellite tracking device to an elephant or a gemsbok? And have you done all of this in a single day?

Eight young African wildlife veterinarians who recently participated in a 10-day hands-on training course would answer with a resounding YES!

During a highly interactive time in the field at the Etosha Heights Private Reserve, these young veterinarians worked hand-in-hand
with several highly experienced Namibian and international wildlife veterinarians. They gained valuable experience in wildlife capture,
collaring, tagging, moving of animals and much more, while at the same time supporting the conservation management of one of
Namibia’s largest private reserves.
