The Game Capture School is the first comprehensive school in South Africa that offers courses that focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of all forms of wildlife conservation and education.

Capture, hand rearing and care of infant and orphaned animals are our passion.

To date, our school has successfully trained more than a thousand people from different countries.

Supporting the education and practice of wildlife handling and care, our courses are aimed at minimising animal stress and mortalities.

Our Immobilization course for Veterinarians is the only course in South Africa that has been accredited by the South African Veterinary Council.
