Big Cat Encounter - Weekends

On arrival at the centre, you will be greeted by staff. Following a safety briefing, you will receive a guided tour of the site where you’ll discuss the conservation needs of cat species worldwide with one of the sanctuary’s highly-trained team.

You will have the chance to get close to some of the most efficient killers on the planet whilst they remain safely in their enclosures. You will also have an opportunity to hand-feed one of the big cats. Make sure you bring your camera, as there will be plenty of opportunities to take photographs throughout the activity.
