For visitors to Jersey, the trust’s work comes alive at their wildlife park headquarters. Visitors can explore the extensive grounds of the park for as long as they wish, from an hour to an entire day. Along the way you’ll be able to see, hear, and, in some cases, smell, Andean bears, gorillas, orangutans, otters, tamarins, lemurs, meerkats, fruit bats, poison frogs, Komodo dragons, flamingos, Jamaican boa snakes, and many, many more! Highlights include the fun and interactive meerkat enclosure, including a ‘pop-up’ bubble in which you can stand and view the meerkats as they go about their day. The orangutan’s home takes up a significant corner of the park, featuring all manner of bridges, platforms, hills, trees, and water features on which the friendly residents play. Catch them in the right mood and they’ll mimic your every move! Possibly the most famous residents of Durrell’s park are the gorillas; gentle giants who happily spend their days in their huge enclosure.
