“Wonderful experience ”
The big cat sanctuary experience was a gift from my children who came along as guests to share what was a wonderful day. Our guide was pleasant an informative explaining how the sanctuary started an the work that they continue to do to help the conservation of these cats. We were given time to watch an enjoy each cat encounter. The surroundings are well kept, there are plenty of places to sit a watch the cats. Feeding the cats getting so close was brilliant. An unforgettable day.
