Back in America

July 18, 2018 by Zack George Leave a Comment

I’ve been back in the states now for a little over 3 weeks and I’m already planning how to go back to South Africa next summer. I had an absolutely incredible experience with EcoLife and I highly recommend anyone interested to apply for the program. I appreciated how much the program was focused on showing […]

Week 3, part 1: The Big Five

July 18, 2018 by Zack George Leave a Comment

After we got back to camp from Ralf’s lecture, we spent the evening and the following day going on game drives. We paid for an evening drive with a park worker and that was kind of a waste, we did not see anything exciting really. But that is the way it works. Wednesday we got […]

Finally, it’s time for the Kruger! Our next lodging after leaving Zion and Dr. John was located in the Greater Kruger area, a large strip of privately owned land that surrounds the proper national park territory. Here we studied disease ecology under the most interesting man I’ve met in a while, Cornell. This man was […]

We thought 5am wakeup was the end of the world. Then, we found out we had to roll out of bed at 4am on Tuesday. We almost rioted. But this is where my “Don’t be grumpy, its worth it” mantra came into full affect, we were going to get the special opportunity of participating in […]

Week 1, Part 2: Canis Afrikaans and Learning Experiences

June 20, 2018 by Zack George Leave a Comment

After NWU, we ate dinner and had an early night, then we packed up and left Johannesburg Friday morning. On our way to Shosholoza game lodge, we stopped at CLAW veterinary clinic. This facility only services people in the Townships, those that can’t afford typical veterinary care. They turn away anyone that pulls up in […]

About Zack George

Photo of Zack George.

Hello, my name is Zack and I am a senior Animal Science major focusing on the pre-vet tract. I went on the CELA Belize trip last summer for the Large Animal and Wildlife programs. While there I fell in love with the idea of focusing in wildlife medicine and wanted to pursue more experiences in that, so I found the Eco-Life expedition and applied for that. I am excited to go to a continent I’ve never been to before and explore the field of wildlife medicine even more.
