our services
Wildlife
capture
SAWorldVets headquarters is located on a 4500 acre Game Reserve in close proximity to the Greater Kruger National Park. Our mobility allows us to relocate and operate from various locations around the continent. We regularly implicate methods ranging from mass capture bomas, net bomas, baiting, in addition to active and passive chemical immobilization. SAWorldVets has extensively trained owner-operator helicopter pilots. Owning and darting from our helicopters allows for highly efficient, successful, and safe capture, which is a must when dealing with Africa’s evasive and occasionally endangered species.
Clinical
Work
Working with wildlife this can get interesting being on constant 24 hour call with patients varying from impala to elephant with injuries being anything from snare removals to fighting injuries, everything is possible in Africa.
Expert
Advise
Wildlife in SA has become a world focus, SAWorldVets provides expert advice on all aspects of wildlife management, capture, breeding or introductions. Our field experts are more than glad to help conservation in every way.
