Spend a day in the company of some of the planet’s most endangered and iconic felines. In this incredible animal encounter, you’ll shadow an experienced and dedicated big cat keeper for an insight into what life is like at The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent. You’ll learn fascinating things about lions, tigers, leopards, Snow Leopards and jaguars during your visit, as well as what BCS are doing to preserve their futures.
You could be mucking out the African lion’s enclosures, assisting with feeding or helping with an enrichment feature: no matter what, you’ll experience things you never thought possible. Not only will you get up close and personal with the cats, you’ll also get to hand-feed one! Bring your camera, as there’ll be plenty that you’ll want to share with friends. There will also be a buffet lunch to keep you energised during your exciting day.
