Write a ReviewWe had the most fantastic experience with Wild Friends Sanctuary for my son's birthday! The team was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging from start to finish. The children (and adults!) were captivated the entire time, and Linda and Roxanne made even the more nervous kids feel completely comfortable. The reptiles and mammals were shown with such care and professionalism. Highly recommended for any party or event - we couldn't have been happier!

The best interactive live show. Load of information about all the animals they bring with. Each child gets to touch and feel the animals. Bonus is they give you pics and a certificate at the end. A definite bonus! 2026 we are booking you once again!

We recently had the pleasure of having Wildlife Sanctuary visit our school and it was a truly memorable experience for our learners! The team was knowledgeable, professional, and engaging, providing not only an exciting display of various reptiles but also an educational session that kept the learners captivated throughout. The presentation was both informative and interactive, allowing learners to touch or carry some of the reptiles under close supervision, which added a personal and exciting element to the experience. It was wonderful to see how confidently and gently the children interacted with the animals, and how much they learned in the process. To top it off, professional photographs of the event were taken and sent to us within a few days-beautifully capturing the excitement and joy on the learners' faces.

A wild day at school!
We had an amazing visit from Wild Friend Sanctuary! Linda and her team brought a fascinating variety of mammals and reptiles; from chinchillas and clever rats to snakes and geckos. Every child had a chance to touch, hold, and learn about these wonderful creatures, up close!
Linda's calm, patient manner and age appropriate explanations made it an unforgettable learning experience. The animals were clearly loved and well cared for. Our learners walked away with certificates, loads of photos and a deeper appreciation for God's creation.
Thank you Wild Friend Sanctuary for an experience filled with bravery, curiosity, and wonder! Highly recommended!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Wild Friends Sanctuary come to my animal-loving 5 year old son's birthday party for a mammal and reptile show - and it truly made his entire day! The experience was beyond amazing.
From the moment they arrived, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The children (and adults!) were completely captivated. Not only did everyone get the chance to interact with the animals, but the team also took time to educate the kids in a fun and engaging way. You could see the joy and fascination on every child's brave face.
The special touches also stood out - each child received a personalised certificate for interacting with the animals, which made them feel so proud and excited. It was such a thoughtful detail.
I cannot recommend Wild Friends Sanctuary highly enough. They were the highlight of the party and created an experience my son and his friends did not stop speaking about at school on Monday! Thank you for making it so memorable!

We had Wild Friends Sanctuary come to our school yesterday and we had an amazing time. Students and teachers learned so much and had an awesome time experiencing holding and touching a variety of mammals and reptiles. Students were still talking about the show this morning and expressing how much they loved the animals. It was also wonderful to see so many feel comfortable enough to conquer their fears and this was due to the calm confidence of Linda and her team. We will definitely contact them again for a show.

Wild Friends Sanctuary totally blew us away at our last two events! They were absolutely amazing, and the kids couldn't get enough of the mammal and reptile shows. Watching the little ones light up as they got to interact with the animals was such a highlight. Everything was set up super neat and tidy, and they were right on time, making the whole experience easy and seamless. If you're looking to add some real wow factor to your event, I can't recommend Wild Friends Sanctuary enough!

Absolutely incredible experience with Wild Friends Sanctuary's Educational Shows & Parties! It was the highlight of our day - who knew learning could be this fun? The team brought along such an amazing array of animals, and everyone was completely captivated, from kids to adults (who suddenly acted like kids around the animals)!
The educational part was just the right amount - super informative, without feeling like a school lecture. We learned so much cool stuff about each animal, but the real magic? Getting to interact with them up close! Let's just say there were some unforgettable selfies taken, and more than one of us wanted to take a furry (or scaly!) friend home by the end.
The team clearly loves what they do, and it shows in how much they care about each animal.

We were thrilled to welcome Wild Friends Sanctuary to our school, and the experience was nothing short of incredible! The children and staff had an absolute blast, filled with fun and fascinating moments. The team from the sanctuary were outstanding with the children, guiding them through each encounter in a way that felt safe, engaging, and truly memorable.
We couldn't be prouder of our little ones for showing such bravery as they met the sanctuary's friendly animals.
Additionally, the photographs taken by the sanctuary team have given us wonderful memories to cherish from this special day.

The animal show hosted at the primary school was a delightful and educational experience for both learners and staff. It brought together a variety of animals, ranging from small domestic pets to more exotic creatures, offering children a hands-on opportunity to learn about different species and their habitats, behaviors, and needs.
The show was well-organised, with each animal displayed in secure enclosures or held by trained handlers, ensuring the safety of everyone involved. Each exhibit was accompanied by informative presentations tailored for young learners, making the information easy to understand and engaging. Students learned about the animals' diets, native environments, and the importance of conservation.
One highlight was the interactive segment, where children were allowed to touch or even hold certain animals under supervision. This part was met with excitement and awe, as many learners had never been so close to some of these animals before. The show not only sparked curiosity but also instilled respect for animals and a sense of responsibility toward nature.

Wild Friend Sanctuary came all the way down to my son's preschool to do their show and tell, for his 3rd birthday. Linda gave a very informative lecture on each of their babies who accompanied them and she managed to captivate and entertain all 40 little minds and hearts in one sitting. The messages I received from the parents afterwards, on how their kids can not stop talking and explaining what they learned and saw is incredible. They are really down to earth and adapt to any setting with ease. I would refer them to any parent looking to leave a memorable mark on little minds and hearts. Their love for their babies shine through and all animals are well taken care of, which is the first thing I noted!! Worth every cent paid to them and more!!
