Experience wildlife veterinary medicine and conservation in East Africa
Visit Uganda and East Africa and work with our experienced wildlife and domestic animal veterinarians to study both the practical and theoretical elements of:
Specialist field programmes that combine wildlife health management with conservation science, while also integrating the health management of domestic animals in communities adjacent to wildlife protected areas for holistic conservation of wildlife.
These expeditions provide opportunities for veterinarians, researchers, students, and conservation practitioners to participate in hands-on activities such as wildlife and domestic animal health monitoring, disease surveillance, animal capture and translocation support, and rehabilitation of injured wildlife.
Conducted in national parks, wildlife reserves, and surrounding communities, they support species protection by tackling health issues that affect wildlife while strengthening informed conservation practice. They also serve as valuable learning platforms in veterinary medicine, conservation biology, and ecosystem management.
WildMed Safaris and Field Projects coordinates unique opportunities to experience wildlife conservation through the lens of veterinary science and One Health. Our signature programs combine scientific learning, field research, and conservation action in Uganda and East Africa's most remarkable ecosystems.
