I recently completed a 14-day program with Wildlife Adventure Africa, and the experience was nothing short of life-changing. From the very beginning, it felt like more than just a program—it felt like joining a warm, passionate family that truly loves wildlife. The organization is run by a wonderful family, and being welcomed by their three lovely dogs made the place instantly feel like home. Throughout the program, I had the incredible opportunity to work closely with a professional wildlife vet and be hands-on with amazing wild animals such as cheetahs, hyenas, and more. Every day brought new learning, responsibility, and a deeper understanding of conservation and animal care. Our guide VANESSA was outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and full of energy. She made every moment engaging, whether we were working in the field or exploring during our free time. Even though the program was work-focused, it balanced adventure and fun perfectly. During our breaks, we went on incredible game drives, observed Africa’s breathtaking wildlife in their natural habitat, and even got to feed hippos and elephants—an unforgettable experience. Visiting one of the oldest trees in the world was another magical highlight that made us feel connected to the deep history of the land. What made the entire journey even more special was sharing it with best nine companions I could ask for. Together, we worked hard, laughed often, and created unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever(In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight. Overall, my time with Wildlife Adventure Africa was an amazing blend of learning, teamwork, adventure, and joy. I left with unforgettable memories, new skills, lifelong friendships, and a strong appreciation for wildlife conservation. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is passionate about animals, nature, and real-life adventure.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience of a lifetime!🇿🇦🦓🦒🐘 I joined this wildlife program in September and it was an unforgettable experience! For two weeks, we worked alongside a wildlife vet and learned so much about animal care and conservation. It was my first solo trip, but I felt incredibly welcome thanks to the warm and friendly family and my amazing group members. We saw incredible wildlife, did fun tourist activities, and stayed in a beautiful lodge where everything was perfectly organized. A huge thank you to Vanessa, Riaan, Michelle, Jamie, Chris, and Wendy for making this trip truly special!🫶🏼 These are memories I often think back to and will cherish for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in wildlife, veterinary medicine, or animal care — and I truly hope to come back one day!🤎Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My time with Wildlife Adventure Africa was honestly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, Vanessa, Jamie and their family made me feel so welcome, like part of their family. Every single day was filled with learning, laughter, adventure and the kind of experiences that stay with you forever. Seeing their genuine love and dedication to wildlife and conservation was incredibly inspiring. It reminded me exactly why I chose this path. I left with new knowledge, new friends, and a heart completely full. I’ll 100% be back someday. Highly, highly recommend ♥️🫶🏻Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed the whole experience, I met animals that were my dream to meet! For the extremely high amount I paid, I just hoped that breakfasts and especially lunch would be better! For lunch it was just small snacks that didn't satisfy anyone because of the work we were having, spending a lot of energy! So I ended up spending more going to restaurants and markets! About veterinary follow-up, I thought they were extremely simple things like just applying injections, I would have liked to have had something more in-depth but I was satisfied because I remembered things from my studies and learned tooPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. South Africa 🇿🇦 made my dreams come true 💛 The past month in South Africa I got to make my dreams a reality! Working along side a wonderful wildlife veterinarian and other like minded people on South Africa's amazing Wildlife. Gaining hands-on experience in the care and management directly with wildlife species such as Impalas, Cape Buffalo, Sable Antelope and White Rhinoceros. Obtaining more confidence all while internationally traveling solo for the first time and making lifelong friends along the way. South Africa has my heart 🧡 and I can't wait to go back! 😊Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have no words to describe how amazing the 2 weeks I spent with Wildlife Adventure Africa was! Each day was something new and full of excitement! You get the chance to be up close and personal with a huge range of the wildlife of South Africa. This is a trip I will never forget, and I can't thank Wildlife Adventure Africa enough for giving me this opportunity!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t even know where to begin. This program, the family running it, and the overall experience with them was life changing. They welcome you with open arms. The family dinners, and early morning breakfasts were some of my favorite times. The lodges were beautiful, clean, and homey, I felt instantly comfortable. I loved how much hands on I was able to get, and they make sure everyone is included and gets to do tasks. My only complaint is that the program isn’t longer, I already miss this place and the people I met along the way. If you’re trying to figure out whether or not to book this trip and program, I have your answer: book it!!!!! This was a once in a lifetime experience, not only with the animals we were able to help and see, but the good balance of work and play that comes along with it. I will never forget this place.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here is the corrected version of the text: Way more than I expected! Yes, I expected tranquilizing and assisting veterinarians with pets and wildlife. But I was pleasantly surprised that they are family-owned and make you feel a part of that family from the day you are picked up. I was provided free water, free breakfast, a packed lunch, and an amazing dinner EACH day (for 2 weeks), not to mention my laundry was washed every day. I highly recommend this group over any “Safari” tour. You are learning and making a difference daily.
