VALENTINE’S
KENT’S BEST DATES! CONT.
Something Different
ALL OF FEBRUARY
BIG CAT EXPERIENCE
BIg Cat Sanctuary, Smarden Nr Ashford
thebigcatsanctuary.org
Price: From £199
Lions, leopards, cheetahs, pumas, jaguars, and more
- the breadth of the collection of amazing wild cats
at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent is
extraordinary. Get up close and personal with these
beautiful creatures, with an exclusive behind-the-
scenes tour of the facility. You’ll see their enclosures
and areas of the premises not open to the general
public, and learn about the impressive conservation
work that the Foundation is involved in both here
and abroad, on a guided tour with a keeper. Most
exciting of all, you’ll feel hot tiger breath or feel
leopard whiskers brush your hand, when you actually
feed one of the big cats (the cat will be in its enclosure,
and you’ll be taught how to do this very safely!). A
once-in-a-lifetime experience, meeting the big cats
will create long-lasting memories and the most
unforgettable Valentines date!
