Camel Close Encounter

Get hoof-to-hoof with our friendly camels in this truly memorable encounter!

Drusillas’ resident camels Lofty and Roxy like nothing more than meeting new friends, and love getting nose-to-nose during a close encounter.

Spend some time behind the scenes preparing camel snacks, get up close for some feeding time, and pose for that perfect camel selfie!

A camel encounter is a wonderfully unique gift for the animal lover in your life, or a great experience to treat yourself to.
