Brothers Safaris became operational in January 2002 and has gone from strength to strength, slowly becoming recognised as a specialist tour operator offering excellent service and conservation based, hands-on, behind-the-scenes safaris, as well as tailor made traditional tours and safaris throughout Southern Africa and more recently, Africa The business is owned and managed by wildlife Veterinarian, Dr Peter Brothers, who is also a registered tour guide, and your guide on most specialist safaris in the African Vet Safaris portfolio! " Born and bred in South Africa I have always been passionate about the outdoors and wildlife. I was fortunate enough to spend many hours in the outdoors from a young age and thus it was no surprise that I chose to become a Veterinarian, graduating from Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty in South Africa, in June 1996. After just more than 5 years in conventional domestic animal practice I decided that my general Veterinary knowledge had been cemented through practice, and that is was time to pursue my real passion - wildlife. I opted for a novel approach to wildlife practice by involving tourism and started my own safari business, specialising in wildlife and behind-the-scenes wildlife safaris which involve the veterinary and management aspects of wildlife conservation. My hope in so doing is to create a long term viable career in this field so that I am able to sustainably share with others the wonders, trials and tribulations of wildlife conservation today. My passion for wildlife is strong as ever and it is this very passion that drives me forward on a daily basis to share with and educate people while fulfilling my dreams and hopefully making a significant contribution to wildlife conservation in the process. I invite you to join me and experience this first hand, your expectations will be exceeded! " Dr Peter S. Brothers, Pretoria, 10 July 2005 I was born in Staffordshire, England and I loved animals from an early age and always wanted to work with animals. From a very young I started to ride horses and continued with this passion up until my late twenties. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in the UK in 2003 and worked in small animal practice from 1995 to 2006. I met Peter in 1995 while he was doing a small animal locum for the practice that I used to work for in Birmingham, UK and the rest as they say is history! I moved out to South Africa permanently in 2006 after our little boy William was born. The patients that I now nurse are much larger and far more dangerous than the feral cat that I am used to….. I love the outdoors and the wildlife and I am truly blessed to be able to be involved in the fantastic work Brothers Safaris & African Vet Safaris does.
