During the tour, travelers can witness feeding sessions, enrichment activities, and learn about the behaviors, diets, and habitats of various species.

Guests will also encounter other wildlife such as exotic birds, monkeys, and small mammals, making this tour a rich educational and recreational experience. Photography enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities to capture close-up shots of wildlife in naturalistic settings, all under the supervision of trained guides to ensure safety and respect for the animals.

This one-day tour also emphasizes environmental education and responsible tourism, highlighting how private sanctuaries contribute to wildlife conservation, anti-poaching efforts, and community involvement.
