30th World Veterinary Congress 2011
 Brothers Safaris is offering you the ideal opportunity to extend your stay in South Africa and encounter some of our famous wildlife as well as experience the breath-taking scenery of our wonderful country from a veterinary perspective. Brothers Safaris have prepared both a pre and post Congress tour which will travel between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town (in both directions). Spend 9 days and 8 nights in the company of a resident wildlife veterinarian, experiencing behind the scenes work with South African wildlife species (veterinarians only but provision will be made for alternate activities for accompanying non-veterinarians), as well as travelling along the scenic Garden Route, visiting various wildlife veterinary facilities along the way. You will spend 3 nights on an Eastern Cape game reserve, working behind the scenes with a resident wildlife veterinarian on antelope and one of the larger charismatic species of South African Wildlife. Here you will gain first-hand knowledge of challenges and conservation concerns that are faced in this country on a daily basis. You will then head into the scenic Garden Route and visit Tenikwa Cheetah Awareness Centre and Rehabilitation facility, where we work behind the scenes with the owner and founder of this remarkable facility. Travelling further into the Garden Route we visit a mixed veterinary practice as well as a local wildlife farming enterprise before heading inland to the ostrich capital, Oudtshoorn, where once again we are privileged to get a behind the scenes look at this thriving local industry. Heading to Cape Town we stop over at a disease free buffalo breeding project, where you will also learn about a revolutionary quagga breeding project. Your final destinations are the world famous winelands situated just outside of Cape Town, and finally the V & A Waterfront and a Peninsula Tour of the beautiful coastline surrounding the Mother City. All accommodation is in four star or four star equivalent establishments. Not only will you have a fantastic time but your participation helps fund wildlife conservation in the various game reserves and wildlife facilities that you will visit.
