Our Program
An Experience You’ll Never Forget
Joining our program could be one of the most rewarding adventures of your life. At Phezulu Pre-Vet, we don’t just teach—we get you involved. You’ll dive into as much hands-on work as possible, because we believe the best way to learn is by doing.
Your journey with us is a vibrant mix of fieldwork, interactive lectures, and excursions to incredible places like Pumba Private Game Reserve, nature estates, livestock farms, and other uniquely South African destinations.
No two days are ever the same. Your itinerary may shift as new opportunities arise—whether it’s an unexpected wildlife encounter, a veterinary procedure in the field, or a chance to explore something truly special. Flexibility is part of the adventure, and it ensures that every experience is as exciting as it is educational.
