Animalistic Encounters

It’s all about the animals here at Animalistic Encounters, so if you’re as crazy about animals as we are, you’re bound to enjoy your time with us. We can bring our animals to you, or you can visit us by appointment to meet, experience and learn about some of the world's most fascinating animals from our 32 different species.

We are committed to educating and inspiring the next generation about the wonders of the world, the importance of conservation and how everyone can get more involved in protecting our planet and the animals we share it with.

Lexi, our MD holds an MSc in animal welfare and conservation, a Level 3 Diploma in animal-assisted intervention, as well as several other animal qualifications. She has worked with children in a professional capacity for over 18 years and holds a bachelor's degree and a PGCert in advanced social work with a focus on children.

Our other staff and volunteers hold various animal qualifications such as Levels 2 & 3 and a bachelor's degree in animal management.

We cover Essex, Suffolk, Kent, Hertfordshire and further afield for all types of education, clubs, events and parties.
