SOUTH AFRICA / Intern Africa
This 21 day program is divided into three main sections: Participation, Conservation and Sight Seeing.
The focus of the program is on the cheetah, and during the course participants are involved with the everyday care of the cheetahs. This includes, cleaning, feeding, and where required, assisting with or observing any veterinary activities that may occur during their stay. The same activities apply to other species being cared for at the centre. The knowledge gained about the animals and work of the centre through this kind of participation is both specific and personal.
The Sight Seeing section of the program is where participants get to put theory into practice either through directed observation in the wild or at other centres that specialise in other areas of research or conservation.
Hands on experience:
Working with cheetah, wild dog, small spotted cats, African wildcats and more.
Preparation of animal food and feeding the animals.
Possibility of working with the wildlife vet (darting, capturing and operating on animals).
Possibility of assisting in the hand-rearing of animals.
Local community involvement (e.g. visiting schools in rural areas).
The lectures will be followed by practical exercises – for example:
Trip to reptile park
Identification of plants on walking excursions
Tracking in the bush
Trip to local tribal village
A trip to Kruger National Park
Stargazing
Natural and traditional food preparation.
