Useful advice before a visit, a closer look at the animals and the people doing the work. Our stories give the sanctuary room beyond the photograph, with practical guides and things to notice when you are here.
Start with a visit guide, discover Shandor’s background or look more closely at the everyday work of animal care.
Tour times, what to bring, how to arrive and why a guide makes a difference.
The early interest and years of work behind a familiar face.
Food preparation, clean spaces and the value of looking carefully.
Slow down and notice more than the tallest animal in the frame.
A sanctuary visit rarely answers every question. It often gives you better ones: about an animal’s behaviour, what daily care involves or how the setting changes after dark. Follow those interests here, then bring them to the guide when you visit.
If you would like to contribute an education idea, a question or an account of your own time here, contact the team. Personal experiences are most useful when the detail is clear and the animals remain part of the story.
