This summer I spent two weeks in Mpumalanga, South Africa gaining an insight, and hands on experience, into the work of wildlife veterinarians. The time I spent with the Raath family and their vets was unforgettable and the most amazing opportunity. Wildlife Vets are an organisation that have over 20 years experience in educating students and vets and they have shown me the incredible possibilities a career in conservation has to offer. Being so close to such amazing animals was a privilege and has excited even more for my future career as a veterinarian.
