Meerkats - Meerkat encounters, toys, gifts & encounters

Meerkats have stolen the hearts of many animal lovers, so if you have a meerkat lover in your family, why not treat them to a Meerkat Encounter?

We gave my Dad this for his 80th birthday present at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire. The keeper who took him to the Meerkat enclosure was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the meerkats in his care. Dad sat on a log, & quickly became a human climbing frame as the meerkats crawled all over him. One even stuck his nose in Dad's jacket! As Dad fed the meerkats their breakfast, the keeper told him all about their characteristics & habits. It was the best birthday present we've even given Dad - I've never seen such a smile on his face! I highly recommend this gift.
