Accommodation

Take a walk on the wild side and experience the perfect animal-themed staycation at The Big Cat Sanctuary, run by a leading conservation charity in the Kent countryside. Home to over 50 cats spanning 15 different species (including Willow and Maya, famed for their appearance in BBC Two's Big Cats About the House), this incredible overnight stay will whisk you away to the exotic plains of Africa, China and beyond, without you stepping foot outside the UK. The charity's work in Big Cat welfare, breeding, conservation and education will be benefited by your stay at the sanctuary and from other kind donations.

Your stay starts with a welcome glass of bubbly followed by afternoon tea, before you're given an insightful guided tour of The Big Cat Sanctuary by one of the team. You will learn about the charity’s conservation projects both on site and overseas, and you'll be introduced to all of its beautiful residents as you make your way around the sanctuary. You'll even have an opportunity to interact with the small cats, observing enrichment feeds and health checks.

Your wild experience wouldn't be complete without an authentic wooden cabin. You will be staying in one of six beautiful lodges that consists of a large double bedroom, a spacious living room and bathroom, all impeccably decorated in light and dark wood panelling, with plenty of animal-print accents that will entirely reflect your wild surroundings.

Dining

As part of your package, you'll get to indulge in an afternoon tea, an evening meal and breakfast, all provided by the sanctuary's on-site chefs. You'll be in the conservatory too, where you can watch the antics of the African lion brothers while dinner is prepared.

Location

The Big Cat Sanctuary is a big cat conservation centre that relies on donations and specialised experiences, set in the pretty Kentish village of Smarden and surrounded by the lovely English countryside. You'll be staying in a luxury lodge right on site, so you'll be able to see some of the world's rarest animals up close.
