Selati Wildlife Experience is in the Limpopo province of South Africa near to the Kruger Park and the towns of Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa.
Selati has antelope, giraffe, zebras, wildebeest, rhinoceros and much other game roaming free which can be seen driving in and out of Selati and also from your accommodation.
Selati provides an intensive course working alongside a qualified wildlife vet.
Selati uses various local wildlife vets for their veterinary work. Students will shadow the wildlife vet and assist with vaccinations, game relocation, treating animals and anything the vet must do in his day to day work. Students will get a practical darting session from the helicopter and lectures. This is a hands-on project and students are expected to be fit, flexible in their approach and to work hard and maybe long hours.
