ABOUT LIVINGSTONE EXPERIENCE
Wildlife is our passion. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for our animals. Located in Gravelotte, Limpopo, our program places students and veterinarians side by side with wildlife professionals, working hands-on with a diverse range of species.
Why limit yourself to one vet when you can learn from multiple veterinarians across different species - all within a safe, controlled environment? We are with you every step of the way, on the ground and ready to support you throughout your journey. Our veterinary program offers a unique opportunity to deepen and enrich your education through real, practical experience, helping you develop new skills and gain valuable industry exposure.
Practical experience is at the heart of everything we do. As a participant, your hands-on involvement will be unmatched - this is a program where you will truly get your hands dirty.
​
While completing your program, you'll go far beyond what any tourist could experience. You'll be fully immersed in the daily life of an extraordinary destination, gaining exposure and insight that simply cannot be found elsewhere. And yes - it's perfectly fine to admit that combining work and adventure is part of the appeal. That is exactly what we, as Livingstone Experience, deliver.
From exploring Kruger National Park and the breathtaking Panorama Route, to meeting Jessica the Hippo, practising helicopter darting, and living on a private wildlife reserve - every day brings something new.
We also offer additional tours for those who want to soak up even more of the beauty and wonder that Africa has to offer.
Our goal is simple: to send you home with a deeper passion for veterinary medicine and a story worth sharing.
