Wildlife Safaris

Enjoy wildlife from the water

Our events with partners Scudamore's in Cambridge offer a fantastic way to get closer to the wildlife in the centre of the city.

Go punting on the River Cam at dusk, with a Wildlife Trust guide and bat detectors at your disposal so you can listen in to the clicks and whirrs of bats whilst taking in the abundance of evening wildlife from the water.
