Wild Jobs: Namibia
Marlice van Vuuren grew up on the Harnas wildlife sanctuary in Namibia. It was here that she developed her love for wildlife, especially the injured, orphaned, and ‘problem’ animals. After completing her studies, she and her husband Rudie started Naankuse, a wildlife sanctuary near Namibia’s capital. We follow their compelling conservation efforts – from saving the life of a baby baboon to collaring majestic desert elephants.
