Big Cat Ranger for a Day - Weekends
About this experience
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.

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
