Get Up Close With Magnificent Rhinos During An Exclusive Behind The Scenes Encounter
Experience an unforgettable encounter with magnificent rhinos, Eco and Ubuntu, in the open range Savannah area. This rare opportunity allows you to step behind the scenes with an experienced keeper to learn about these incredible animals in a personal setting. You will gain a new appreciation for the power and presence of the second largest land animal on earth, feeling the unique texture of their skin while discovering the vital importance of their conservation in the wild.
The 15-minute experience is designed to be interactive, as Eco or Ubuntu may choose to approach you during your visit. This hands-on learning opportunity fosters a deep connection between humans and wildlife, encouraging participants to become ambassadors for the survival of the species. By observing these gentle giants up close, you will gain insights into their behavior, diet, and the daily care provided by the dedicated team of keepers who manage their habitat within the Savannah.
This encounter is specifically designed for guests aged 6 and up, ensuring a safe and educational environment for all participants. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult, making it a perfect activity for families looking to create lifelong memories together. While zoo entry is not included and must be purchased separately, the encounter itself provides a unique, intimate perspective on animal care that is rarely accessible to the general public during standard visits.
Bring your sense of wonder and a happy spirit as you prepare for this remarkable interaction. By the end of your visit, you will leave not only captivated by the sheer strength of these animals but also inspired to support ongoing conservation efforts. This experience is more than just a photo opportunity; it is a meaningful engagement that highlights the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting endangered species for future generations to admire and respect.

Nice little zoo much bigger than you would think from the road! The staff are really friendly and helpfull and the animals are really well kept the marmoset monkey loves playing hide and seeks its so cool! Would definitely come again as it's quite reasonably priced aswell👍

What a little hidden gem . Easy to get too a big car park and if you have a child that loves reptiles or animals in general they are going to love this place the highlight of my 8 year olds day was getting to hold the giant snail 🐌 cockroach 🪳 turtle ... 🐍 Snake and the large stick looking insect he was fascinated this place is well worth a visit and very reasonably priced too with a lovely cafe and seating area glad I came across this place great experience today They also do school tours

Nice little place with some unusual animals, the meerkats are brilliant and the babies are adorable. You can sit and watch them from outside the restaurant. The food from the restaurant is amazing. The reptile house is very nice with a variety of reptiles and insects from snakes to cockroaches and the reptile/bug encounter is great. It's a nice opportunity for children to interact with animals they wouldn't normally see. There's also a lovely little walk around the pet farm with a big playground. I would definitely recommend spending a few hours here with the kids.
