Safari Vet School

New series in which vet Steve Leonard acts as guide and mentor to students from the UK as they try to cope with the challenges and terrors of being a wildlife vet in South Africa.

UK veterinary students travel to South Africa to learn about being a wildlife vet. 16 students find out what they can do in the fight to save the rhino, which is endangered.

Steve Leonard mentors UK veterinary students in a South African game reserve. A mother and baby giraffe have to be moved to another game reserve - but first they have to be caught.

UK vets Thom, Nadia and Natalie are learning to expect the unexpected when a procedure to capture and remove an oryx does not go to plan.

TV vet Steve Leonard is pushed to the limit as he is left in charge of 16 students and a hall full of barking dogs. And Nadia gets another chance to act as team leader.

After getting the best shot during darting practise, Charlotte and the rest of the students head out to a game reserve called Shamwari where they assist vets Dr Murray Stocoke and Dr Johan Joubert with a lion capture.
