‘Meet The Meerkat Mob’ Close Encounters

It’s great fun to take an up-close and personal walk on the wild side with The Mob during a Meerkats Encounter when you will spend time inside their enclosure discovering all about these fascinating creatures with one of our trained handlers. Lasting for approx. 20 minutes, encounters are restricted to a maximum of 4 people, minimum age 8. Bookable now, the cost per encounter per person is £30 excluding admission to the Sanctuary. Spectators are welcome to watch the encounter at no charge, but are not admitted into the meerkat enclosure.
