Kingussie Wildlife Park is amazing set in the beautiful highlands of Inverness-shire.
The staff are excellent always friendly and willing to answer questions and the animals are fabulous.
As you pay your money you are given a leaflet describing the park and the work carried out there plus a cd or tape to play in your car given you information on particular species or areas within the park. (Which has to be handed back once you leave the park)
As you drive around you are amazed to see things like Buffalo, wild horses, deer and many more all roaming free in the drive through reserve. This is brilliant to see an almost natural habitat where all these different animals roam together.
The drive can take anything from a half hour to an hour depending on how slowly you take the journey but you can go round the reserve as many times as you want.
Once you have finished looking at the animals in the reserve you then go and park at the wildlife centre where you are then free to roam around the park to find out what other delights they have.
The park is full of different species and contains a lot of animals that are or once were native to Scotland and Great Britain.
The park contains, Arctic Monkeys, badgers, otters, elks, beaver, lynx and many more. They also have the largest Wolf Territory in Europe.
The Wildlife centre are in partnership with Edinburgh Zoo so they are able to do a lot to help with conservation and helping endangered species, so not only are you able to see all these animals in a perfect natural environment your also doing your own little bit when you pay your entrance fee or make donations.
Everyday at certain times of the day you are able to go round with a member of staff and watch certain animals being feed, they also give informative talks.
There is a great little gift shop and cafe where again the staff always has a welcoming smile and are very helpful.
This place is great and well worth going to again and again and again
