So glad I did the over night stay had the best time ever, all the staff were fantastic and could not do another for us. The big cats were loved and looked after very well so healthy. The lodge we stayed in was beautiful and spotless and very cosy. We had after noon tea when we arrived then a brilliant two tour with a Member off staff very knowledgeable off all the big cats. We had a three course meal which was lovely with helpful staff. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast and then another tour which we hand-fed tiger and Leopard. I will recommend this too anyone who would like too go can’t wait too go back again

What a fantastic event, two hours learning so much about their cats, conservation and a chance to feed a tiger and a puma. Not a zoo but a true conservation centre and all the staff so friendly and passionate about the sanctuary. Our guide Connie, despite only being there for 7 months was so knowledgeable and obviously cared for the animals. If you get the opportunity I'd highly recommend visiting

We had a 10.45 experience tour, many of the cats had not long had meat hidden in their enclosure... it was wonderful to see the leopards trying to retrieve their breakfast. Thanks to our guide Rick, we were luck enough to see the lions racing from their den, to claim their lump of meat! Rick was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all the cats in the care of the Sancturary, and the conservation projects they support around the world. Feeding two of the cats, breif but such a experience. Had a wonderful ploughman's platter each, one vegetarian, so deliciousand filling... not your every day ploughman's. Great that the chef came out to talk to us. Everyone was very friendly; enclosures/sanctury very clean, and the Cats wealfare top priority, along with health and safety. Lots of evidence of new enclosure building and plans. Well worth a visit, especially for a special occasion.

This was a birthday present for my wife to feed the cats and it was so much better than I expected it to be. As it is appointments only, the place is quiet, there were only 4 other people going round at the same time as us. We had the ploughman's for lunch before our tour and the food and service was excellent. The tour was amazing. Michael was full of knowledge. He kept us enthralled for the whole way round and answered our many, many questions. Watching the joy on my wife's face as she fed first the lion and then the tiger was priceless. The whole experience was amazing and I cannot rate the entire team here highly enough. They are all so passionate about what they do and look after their guests so very, very well. We will definitely be back

What an amazing place to go. All the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. Emily and Abi the keepers that should us round on our ranger day were incredibly knowledgeable and can honestly can say that I have learnt so much about the cats and the conservation projects they are involved in now and in the future. The ranger day itself was a packed day and worth the money. I would definitely recommend the Big Cat Sanctuary as a place to visit.

Need I say more? Keepers and staff are super friendly, and the cats themselves are a delight to see! We went for an Afternoon Tea experience and certainly got our money’s worth! You get roughly two hours to explore the Sanctuary’s enclosures after being served a lovely array of food and drinks for your afternoon tea. Would highly recommend!

Today we went for Paul Hollywood afternoon tea. You will be seated n the conservatory overlooking the lion enclosure. The food (meat, vegetarian or vegan) was delicious and freshly prepared, topped off perfectly with a glass of bubbles. We took a relaxed tour around the sanctuary for more than an hour, it’s such a peaceful place. Next visit is an overnight lodge stay, the price tag initially feels like a huge treat, but so worth it for everything that is included. Big birthday? Special Anniversary? Actually, no excuse is needed!

Fabulous big cat feeding experience, something I will remember for the rest of my life. We had an expert private tour and then fed two big cats each, the animals are obviously well cared for and their environments are clean. We learnt a lot about the animals and their conservation, would thoroughly recommend.

Started our weekend with a cream tea over looking the lion enclosure which was lovely, then our guide Ben took us around the park explaining and answering lots of questions, his knowledge was fantastic.,but his passion and love for all the cats really shone through . We fed a black jaguar which just blew us away at just his beautiful it was . We then relaxed in the large warm lodge before going back to the restaurant for a lovely meal which we were looked after fantastically well by the staff . Next morning after a lovely breakfast, (so much choice) Ben took us around once more and this time we fed a tiger again was amazing . Lastly off to the souvenir shop before leaving. Thank you too all the staff for a truly unforgettable weekend, I'd advise everyone to do this experience if they can ,it's not cheap but it's worth it ,the cats really were looked after so well which was gr8 to see and the most important thing . Can't wait to go back ASAP, Peter Jennings

What a fantastic experience! I took my wife as a surprise 60th birthday present in April 2023 and we stayed overnight in the lodges. Everything right from the welcome at the gates was brilliant. We were made to feel like VIP's the whole time. A big shout out to Jackie who met us on arrival, showed us to the lodge and greeted us for dinner and also Nathan the keeper who took us round the site. No question was too much for him (and there were quite a few!) he certainly knew his stuff. Our lodge (Leopard) was very comfortable and cosy and had only recently been refurbished. Access to the cats was also very special with my wife getting to hand feed as well. For that extra special visit or special occasion I would certainly recommend and give it 5 stars!
