Embark on an unforgettable animal-focused staycation adventure in the Kent countryside. Your journey begins with cream tea and bubbly in our conservatory overlooking the Asiatic lion enclosure. You’ll then go on a tour where you will meet half of our resident cats with one of our dedicated keepers. Afterwards, you can relax in your lodge or on the private veranda before a three-course meal with a complimentary drink of your choice.
Day two starts with a lion’s roar and a hearty full English or continental breakfast. You’ll then embark on a second guided tour with the unforgettable opportunity to hand-feed a big cat. Leave with cherished memories, photos, and the satisfaction of supporting The Big Cat Sanctuary’s conservation mission.
