Welcome!

 

Whether you want to walk with llamas, ride horses, volunteer, enjoy time in the countryside or get close up and personal on an experience day, we've got ideas for you. Pus there's info on animal holidays & travel, & conservation volunteer weekends. Many animals tend to live in the more beautiful parts of the world - getting active in the animal world often gives us access to places we wouldn't normally go. Nature is a great healer & de-stresser

  • Always consult with your GP before starting any new form of exercise

  • WASH YOUR HANDS after touching animals BEFORE eating or snacking. (It could be a good idea to take some antiseptic wipes or handwash with you, just in case loo facilities don't provide soap.) Do not let children put their fingers into their mouths or suck thumbs after touching animals - it's common sense!
  • The amount of contact you can have with animals varies from one place to another & one animal to another. Common sense must prevail.
  • Before you visit places, check that there are no current regulations/conditions which could mean that they are closed. Also check for opening hours.
  • Take your rubbish home with you, at animals' requests
  • Note our disclaimer - we cannot be held responsible for any injury, damage or otherwise to you or any third party as a result of your taking part in any activities on this site.
