Highland Wildlife Park - Warden for the day.

Anyone done this? - http://www.highlandwildlifepark.org/warden_day.htm

I am thinking of getting the other half this for her birthday, but the Carnivore package. Hwever, at £200 per person I'd like to hear the opinions of those who have done it or know someone who has.

Since coming back from South Africa she's like a 5 year old and and is fascinated with Tigers and to get up close would be a fantastic experience. How hands on is it, do you get involved with the feeding etc, or just shoveling crap around all day?

Emm I didnt know you got tigers in S. Africa!

Seriously, they run a similar thing at Edinburgh zoo which I got for a nephew, he thoroughly enjoyed it.

ha ha very true, wrong continent, doh! It was actually cheetahs she got very close to, in fact she was stroking one at a rehab centre. She saw quite a few lions too, I always get confused with Tigers and Lions

I did think of Edinburgh zoo, but I thought a smaller centre may offer a better environement, more hand-on and closer to the animals, perhaps not though.

Edinburgh zoo and Highland wildlife Park are both run by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. A mate of mine is Health and Safety Officer for both.
I would go for HWP, got to be a good day out.
