Here at Lakeland Llama Treks, we can offer a variety of interactive animal experiences, including llama & alpaca walks or animal encounters, giving you the chance to get up close with all our animals, including giant rabbits, bengal cats, pygmy goats and many more. We can usually tailor sessions around your individual wishes so just get in touch and we will be happy to help. We also offer a more educational and hands on llama session called Fun & Facts. This session lasts approximately one hour, and gives visitors the chance to learn how to catch a llama and put a head collar on, grooming, feeding, discover the types of packs llamas often carry, and learn more about their varied and amazing past. This session also includes a short walk with your llamas, and of course plenty of chances for photos.

If you would like to keep up to date with all things llama it would be great if you were to consider joining the British Llama Society who have a great website, an interesting quarterly magazine and a huge commitment to helping everyone to learn more out llamas and camelids in general. The BLS has regular shows, events and a great social network where people can share heart warming, interesting and funny stories, swap knowledge and ideas and generally learn more about llamas.
