Photography Days

Our photography day offers the best opportunity to get close to and photograph the interesting and varied creatures at Wingham Wildlife Park. With the aid of our resident photographer and
helpful staff we have put together an exclusive package that offers special access to see and photograph the animals without the normal restrictions in place for the general public. This
includes, in some cases, entering into the enclosures with the animals and also being able to take macro photographs of some of the smaller residents with the help of their keepers.

Our photographer will be on hand for the day to offer help and advice on how to make the best of photography Opportunities.
