African Vet Safaris
South Africa
Why it's fun: The four- to five-day Brothers Safaris program allows guests to work beside Dr. Peter Brothers—a passionate South African veterinarian who specializes in wildlife species. Participants get a hands-on look at veterinary work in the bush while also experiencing behind-the-scenes game drives. You'll be involved with micro-chipping and ear-notching animals for research and conservation purposes and to help combat poaching. Under the guidance of Dr. Brothers, guests can feel the skin of a rhino or the hair on an elephant's tail. Who goes: CEOs, nurses, people working in the veterinary industry, dentists, even the late Steve Irwin. Special add on: Upon request, guests can fly in the helicopter with Dr. Brothers while the darting takes place. Price: Around $2,600 per person Contact: www.brotherssafaris.com
