Every day attendees can choose from several streams of highly illustrated lectures (in English) or wetlabs on a wide range of current small animal related topics (see programme for further details).The 30 hours of practical sessions will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live animals and specimens in small groups, all under the supervision of the specialists.The evenings will be free for leisurely wining and dining, to meet up with old friends and to make new ones. On Friday there wont be any lectures or practical sessions, which will allow attendees and their partners/guests to relax at the pool, go fishing or go on a daytrip to explore this beautiful region.The event fee includes airport transfers, accommodation, all meals (incl. tea/coffee and soft drink), transfers between lodges and the sunrise and sunset safaris from Monday to Friday, extensive event notes and a certificate of attendance.
