Some of the animals you meet will be allowed free-range participation in a controlled area.

For those seeking a more intimate and personalized visit, the VIP Experience offers a deeper connection to the rescued animals of Animal Tracks Sanctuary.

Designed for small groups of 1–4 people (up to 3 groups per session), this experience allows you to witness the incredible resilience of our animal ambassadors while learning about their stories and the importance of conservation.

Observe wolf hybrids playing together, learn about the specialized care given to primates, kangaroos, and other incredible species, while gaining insight into their vital roles in ecosystems and the impact of human intervention.

Designed for passionate animal lovers considering a future in wildlife rescue, education, or conservation, this immersive experience allows you to observe, learn, and participate in the essential tasks that keep our sanctuary running.

Under the guidance of one of our Animal Experts, you will shadow our team, assist in preparing specialized diets and feeding, help maintain enclosures, observe and participate in enrichment activities that encourage natural behaviors and gain firsthand insight into the challenges and rewards of working in wildlife conservation!

Why You Should Grab The Offer

At Animal Tracks Sanctuary, we rescue and provide lifelong care for animals affected by the illegal pet trade and human intervention. Your visit directly supports our mission to rehabilitate and protect these incredible creatures while promoting conservation and sustainability. Unlike a petting zoo, these immersive experiences offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we care for and educate the public about wildlife. Guided by knowledgeable staff, you'll gain valuable insights into animal welfare and leave inspired to advocate for a wilder, more respectful world.
