Maya the Jaguar, star of the BBC2 series Big Cats About the House
Want to get up close and personal with over 50 big cats? A visit to the Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden is a must. They are only open for five days a year to the public in July, but there are lots of other ways to visit. Book a photography day, stay overnight in one of the wonderful lodges or book a tour with the keeper and hand feed a lion. This really is a special treat that will live long in the memory.
