Testimonials

These guys were absolutely fantastic for my daughters' birthday. Really well organised and professional and so knowledgeable and with a genuine care for their animals. They were happy to answer questions from both children and adults and share their love of these animals with us. We could choose the animals we met and went for reptiles and insects, and all of them - even the huge python - were so well socialised and cared for that our 4 month old could stroke and interact with them and my 2 yr old could hold them. She was delighted at the little frog - what a valuable and memorable experience for everyone, and the start I hope of a love for all animals that lasts a lifetime.

Wow!!! We had an amazing ‘Virtual School Trip’ with Exotic Explorers. I emailed enquiring a predator package to fit in with our school topic and these guys certainly delivered! The children thoroughly enjoyed seeing the animals, watching them eat on camera and get to have a live Q+A with Ben and Puri. Children at home were also able to join in with the experience meaning they have not missed out on any learning and that when they return we can base lessons around the talk and they will understand what we are talking about! I have already recommended to other staff at my school who are looking at when they can book them in! Thank you guys so much! The children loved it (and so did the parents at home).

Ben, Puri, Carol and a selection of their incredible animals visited our prep school today to deliver 4 sessions to Years 2-6 and we were absolutely thrilled with the experience. The whole team were so knowledgeable about the animals and everyone (including all of the teachers) learned so much from them. The animals were clearly well looked after and all 3 of the team obviously cared a lot about their welfare and made sure that all of them, and our children, were always comfortable. All of the children had a chance to handle the animals safely if they wanted to, and it was lovely that some of the animals were free to roam around the floor space rather than always being held and/or passed. They gave us so much information and were able to answer all of the weird and wonderful questions thrown at them by the children. And of course the whole team are so friendly and accommodating. Honestly I've seen a LOT of animal experiences in different settings in my time and yours was by far the most educational! And probably the best experience-wise in general as the children had so many opportunities to interact with the animals and just "be" with them and around them, rather than a stroke and move on. So glad that we came across Exotic Explorers and already looking ahead to when we can have them back! Thoroughly recommend.

WOW These guys visited our school yesterday for our Summer Fair and I can honestly say this was absolutely brilliant... They had an amazing selection of different animals and the children really enjoyed the up close interaction. Ben and the team gave all the kids lots of time to hold the snakes,ferrets, pygmy hedgehogs, fancy mice and their two gorgeous brother and sister barn owls (the stars of the show for me)... Lots of information and facts for children and parents. Brilliant day and a massive thank you for coming!

We had such a fabulous Harry Potter party in October for my sons birthday. Having Exotic Explorers present with owls, dragons and snakes lifted the whole day. The kids had a blast taking photos with the owls and holding the other animals AND the adults really loved it too (especially the snakes)! We had parents staying until late at night talking about the fantastic party! The team were really knowledgeable and the experience was very educational. They took their time with all participants and made sure that all kids and adults who wanted could have a go at interacting with the animals. Overall such a superb day, we are already thinking of which animals we could include in a family gathering in the spring! 5 stars, would recommend to anyone!
