Where Curiosity Meets Courage
Unforgettable reptile encounters for children, schools, events & care homes — building confidence, compassion, and curiosity through hands-on experience.
WHAT IS SCALY SAFARI?
The reptile experience company that brings the wild to you.
We’re an animal encounter company with a big mission — to inspire curiosity, confidence, and compassion through hands-on experiences with some of the world’s most fascinating creatures. From snakes and lizards, to tenrecs, tarantulas, and giant millipedes, every member of our Scaly Safari Crew is part of our family — and treated with the love, care, and respect they deserve.
We create unforgettable animal encounters for birthday parties, schools, care homes, and public events across North Wales and the North West UK (and beyond). Whether you’re looking to entertain, educate, or overcome fears, we bring safe, ethical, and interactive reptile experiences right to your doorstep.
Our ethos is simple: education first, welfare always. We believe that meeting animals up close changes how people see them — replacing fear with fascination and sparking lifelong respect for wildlife. Every Scaly Safari session is built around that goal, combining fun, learning, and genuine connection.

MEET THE CREW
Our animal collection has been carefully curated to be as unique as it is educational. We don’t just bring the usual reptiles — we showcase outstanding species from Africa, Asia, America, and beyond, each chosen for their fascinating traits and individual personalities. Every animal in our care is handled with expertise, loved like family (they are our pets, after all!), and part of an ethical programme that puts welfare first.

“What an exciting event this was. We hired the Scaly Safari to our venue to entertain our customers and we had a huge turn out to see all the animals. We got to hold and touch the animals and they taught us so much about each animal too! It was a great experience and will definitely get them back again! Thank you so much” ~ Charlotte Abbott, The New Philly
“Scaly Safari came to our cafe today and the children absolutely loved it! Allen and Cerries were amazing! They were giving information about the animals, encouraging the children to touch and hold the animals and just generally really chatty and friendly. They were more than happy to answer everyone’s questions too. I can’t recommend Scaly Safari enough, they really exceeded my expectations. It was a really amazing experience and everyone loved it” ~ Babyccino, Rhyl
“We had Scaly Safari come to our son’s 5th birthday party, and they were absolutely fantastic! I’ve seen them at a number of events now and cannot recommend them enough. Allen and Cerries have an incredible way of engaging with both children and adults, they’re warm, knowledgeable, and make the experience fun for everyone. They far exceeded our expectations, and somehow even managed to convince me that snakes aren’t so scary after all! The animals are clearly very well cared for, and the service they provide is outstanding. Highly recommended!” ~ Harry McGrath
“Well…what can I say?! I booked Scaly Safari months ago for Piratemania at Sudeley Castle - they arrived on time set up and engaged the crowd all afternoon. The creatures where well looked after and they where a pleasure to have at our event. I would recommend these guys as they were excellent” ~ Steve Challinor
