African Vet SafarisAfrican Vet Safaris afford clients the opportunity to be involved in wildlife darting and management procedures. Various species such as rhino, leopard, elephant, lion, and many more, that need darting for management or conservation reasons such as pregnancy monitoring or contraception, health checks, transmitter implants or collar fitment, are darted by a wildlife Veterinarian in order for the procedure to be carried out. Clients are given the opportunity to participate in the procedure being carried out once the animal is tranquillised and it is safe to move closer. Depending on the species and procedure involved, clients will have the option of a hands-on approach, or, if they prefer, simply observing from up close and getting those pictures of a lifetime! Feel the inch thick skin of a rhino, or the hair on the tail of an elephant…

Proceeds from the clients' fees are paid over to the wildlife reserve/conservation body to cover the costs of the procedure, and in so doing, clients are contributing directly to the conservation and successful management of the wildlife in South Africa. Please note that no animals are darted without a valid and ethical reason, and at no time is the well being of the animal compromised!

These safaris only cater for small groups, generally a maximum of ten clients, thus provide an exclusive and well-controlled experience in a potentially dangerous situation. The group will therefore be divided into four groups, 8-10 per vehicle.

First session
Group 1 and Group 2 Vet Safari

Second session after lunch
