Purpose Built Photo-friendly Enclosures for those "taken in the wild" Photos
SANTAGO RARE LEOPARD PROJECT, HERTFORDSHIRE
Santago in Hertfordshire is a long standing favourite of many nature photographers. Santago’s main objective is to breed from some of the world’s most endangered leopards. Here you will find African, Clouded, Persian, and Snow Leopards alongside Cougar/Puma and Black Panther. These cats are all housed in specially constructed camera friendly enclosures that allow lenses to be placed through purpose built cut-outs. You can photograph these animals with nothing more than fresh air between your lens and the cats, and backgrounds are superb.
SMALL CATS WORKSHOP, CAT SURVIVAL TRUST, HERTS
Not to be confused with Santago, this venue provides quite a different selection of cats to those that you would find in other collections. Some of the cats form part of breeding programmes, and some have been acquired from zoos and private collections. We photograph all the cats from inside the outer enclosures. This access is not enjoyed by the general public. Lynx, Bobcats, Caracals, Jaguar, Ocelot, Geoffroys Cats, Pumas & 2 families of Snow Leopards.

A maximum of 3 photographers in a 8 seater vehicle ensures some amazing wildlife photography opportunities. Lions, Tigers, Bears , Wolves, Rhino, Giraffe, & Zebra from just a few feet away, plus we go inside the Lemur enclosure.
