At ZSL Whipsnade Zoo you can expect to work with some of the larger mammals as well as some of our smaller animals. You'll get kitted out in your keeper outfit, then you will be briefed on the days activities before heading out into the Zoo with your experienced keeper host.

After helping to muck out our Asian rhinos, you will head to visit our tall giraffes to feed them their mid-morning snack. Recharge over lunch and stop off to see our meerkats or otters, you will then end the day cleaning up after our Asian elephants.
