During one of our exciting South Africa gap year projects, you can take a visit to Cat Rehabilitation Centre. This is just part of one of the many exciting wildlife observation activities that you get involved in on the African Wildlife Gap Year Adventure.
Working on a game farm, getting to know the methods and techniques of wildlife conservation to help preserve some of Africa’s most vulnerable species you will do lots of other day trips as well like trips to private game reserves where you can do a Game drive in the Hluhluwe Game Reserve.
The cat rehabilitation centre is a great opportunity to meet and greet some of South Africa’s most spectacular big cats, not just big ones as well, there are lots of other cool feline friends can’t wait to eat you (sorry meat you, erm we mean MEET you.) Phew, think we got away with that one.
All joking aside do not worry, you’ll be put in the hands of expert South Africans, so it is very unlikely that you will get eaten during the visit, although we do usually lose a few gap year students during the visit to the crocodile farm.
So please make sure that your travel insurance covers you for being eaten by large scaly reptiles, hopefully you won’t but hey that’s what adrenaline travels all about. Doing really cool things you can’t home. Hanging out with some of these guys is definitely one of those things.
