Student Programme
HESC offers people the opportunity to experience the Centre in an intensive and hands-on 21-day programme. During the varsity holidays (June to August) this is limited to students (18 and 35 years), although for the rest of the year we welcome all ages.
It is divided into three main sections: Participation, Conservation and Sight Seeing.
The main focus of the programme is on the cheetah, and throughout their stay participants are involved in the everyday care of these magnificent animals. This includes cleaning, feeding, and where required, assisting with or observing any veterinary activities that may occur during their stay. These same activities also apply to other species being cared for at the Centre. Click here to read more.
New Intake: 7th – 20th February 2012
A warm welcome to Cameron and Michael, who joined us on Tuesday all the way from Australia. It’s Cameron’s first trip abroad, but hopefully Michael, who’s visited our sunny shores a few times, will show him the ropes. Fortunately the boys timed their visit well, unlike poor Marnel whose trip ended on a somewhat soggy note due to the recent floods.
