Lemur Serval & Meerkat Experience

When you arrive at Hoo Farm on the day, you will be welcomed by a member of the Hoo Farm team, who will introduce to three different types of African animals that live on the farm. First, you will get to meet the meerkats. Kovu and Uuka are Hoo Farm’s two hand-reared meerkats, and you will get the chance to handle one of them. They both love people, and will happily snuggle up to you or try to get you to play with them.

Next, you will have the chance to observe a friendly gang of ring-tailed lemurs or meet an adorable white-ruffed lemur face to face. These cheeky primates hail from Madagascar and are highly sociable, communicating with each other through scents and vocalisations.

Lastly, you will meet either Duma or Zeus, Hoo Farm’s two servals. These wildcats are close relatives of the cheetah, and can reach speeds of up to 50mph, despite weighing only 8-18 kilograms. Duma and Zeus are very accustomed to humans and love attention, so they will happily let you stroke them.

Please keep in mind that the welfare of the animals is extremely important to Hoo Farm, so all interaction with these amazing animals is done on their own terms.
