To enjoy our wildlife at your leisure, we recommend allowing an absolute minimum of one hour to wander around the Sanctuary.
Please note that sometimes our animals wish to remain hidden during the tour due to weather conditions (or just being nice and cosy in bed!). In these instances, our keepers may substitute for another of our residents.
