Get up close to some big cats, and have the opportunity to feed one yourself.
What does the activity include ?
By joining the staff looking after the magificant big cats at this Kent breeding centre, you'll really have the chance to get close to these beautiful animals! As the centre is not open to the general public, this experience provides a rare opportunity to see what happens behind the scenes. Although they are held safely in enclosures during the experience they'll only be millimetres away - and you will even have the chance to hand-feed a big cat yourself! Participants will also enjoy a guided tour of the site with the opportunity to chat with the friendly and knowledgeable team at the centre.
The experience will begin with a safety briefing, an important session when you are about to get close to some of the world's top predators! This will be followed by a short presentation to inform you of the work carried out by the Wildlife Heritage Foundation, both overseas and in the UK. You will then be guided around the facility before moving on to the highlight of the day – hand-feeding one of the magnificent cats, an unforgettable experience! The encounter will last for approximately 2.5 hours. There will be an opportunity to take some photo mementos as well.
