Collaring a lioness with Hluvukani Animal Health Clinic's undergraduates and Mnisi Community Programme postgraduates. Great adventure in Sabi Sand Game Reserve on a Friday evening!
Thanks to the State Vet Orpen, Dr Bjorn Reininghaus, for always inviting students along and Sabi Sand for welcoming us!
