The children learn about and even hold animals which they would normally only get to see on TV and in books. They will get an educational experience which gives participants a better understanding of wildlife, nature, the world around us and our place in it. 

The basic Reptile Village demonstrations last between an hour and an hour and a half, but can be arranged for an entire day. Between about 12 and 15 animals are brought along. Participants will get to see and hold some amazing reptiles and amphibians, such as boa constrictors, leopard tortoise, caiman crocodiles, frilled dragons and South African bull frogs..
