Go behind the scenes at our black rhino house and see the keeper’s yard.

You’ll be welcomed by one of our rhino keepers and given a short talk about our rhinos and conservation. You’ll then be taken behind the scenes in the keeper’s yard to learn about the work of a rhino keeper and you’re bound to see some rhino poo! Then you’ll get to meet one of our rhinos and have the opportunity to hand feed them, if they want to.

This is also your chance to ask our expert rhino keepers all about the animals in their charge.

Your rhino feeding experience will last at least 20 minutes. It includes a cuddly toy rhino or a mug to take home so you can remember your special day.

Rhino experiences must be booked well in advance as there’s only one session available per day for a maximum of two people from the same household.

This experience takes place inside the rhino enclosure and only those taking part (or their guardian) may be present to not overwhelm our rhinos.

Our rhino experience is only suitable for those aged 10 or over.

Rhino feeding experience reviews...

"Amazing experience. My 10 year old was nervous to start with but Natasha soon put him at ease and he had a wonderful time feeding the rhinos."

Caroline Pulham, Carmarthenshire, 12 November 2023

"I was lucky enough to be bought the experience my 30th. It was amazing from start to finish, the rhino keeper was knowledgable and answered my questions. He explained how the rhinos are cared for, about enrichment and poaching. The rhinos were amazing, we met them and the baby! We had the pleasure of feeding and brushing them. We felt blessed to be so close to such beautiful creatures. Thank you."
