We house animals from varied backgrounds; whilst most are captive born, we also house rescued and rehabilitated animals that are not eligible for release, as well as animals from the illegal pet trade. Our many species range from Lions, Tigers and Cheetah to Nile Crocodiles, Pygmy Hippos, Lemurs, Sloths, Snakes and much much more!

During your time with us, you will work with our amazing staff who are deeply passionate about our animals and facility. Our hope is, that when you leave, you do so having made life-long friends and unforgettable memories, while flying the flag high for conservation world-wide.
