    "Great experience, we were lucky enough to be in time for the lion feeding , fantastic value for money. Best to go if possible on a week day, only 4 people in the trailer. Guides so friendly and knowledgeable. Some of the feeding experiences are free. great way to spend several hours, with animals that are healthy and kept in very good conditions. This park is a registered charity , so all the money spent goes back into looking after these animals."

The park arranges a fixed feeding time, and visitors can see the interesting appearance of the animals feasting, which is quite exciting.

    "I like to be close to small animals. The small animals here are well protected, and there are public signs introducing the employees who take care of them. They are all old employees who have worked for more than ten years and twenty years. Recommended, you can feed a variety of animals, the environment is very good. The villa on the edge of the park looks really good."
