Join us at Malawi's only wildlife sanctuary to gain valuable work experience to support your studies. As a vet or veterinary nurse student you can get a real insight into sanctuary-based vet work in Africa's 'warm heart'. We are the only organisation sanctioned by the Government of Malawi to conduct wildlife rescues nationwide and Lilongwe Wildlife Centre is the only sanctuary in the world to hold accreditations from the Pan African
Sanctuary Alliance, the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and the Born Free Foundation PAW scheme. Working with us will give you the
chance to learn from a team of local and international experts dedicated to the very best of practice.
The specific
tasks will vary according to the types of animals we are caring for at any particular time,
but you can expect to get involved in a mix of clinical work and wider welfare activities. Clinical work can include diagnostics, lab work and procedures. Externs will
also be expected to get stuck into the day-to-day care of our animal residents including enrichment, integrations, observations and animal husbandry. Our aim is always to rehabilitate animals and return them to the wild.
