Living in South Africa, seeing meerkats in the wild is not unusual but I have never seen ones so tame. What a wonderful experience for your birthday. Sarah

Congratulations Soozie. Great to see you again. I can't believe it's been a few years since we met up. The Meerkats are such inquisitive little creatures aren't they. Glad you got to enjoy the experience. Love Chris

Hi Chris It was the best. Their fur was so soft and the meerkat that was on watchout duty decided to climb onto my shoulder and kept watch for any predators and stayed here for about 10minutes was a great day...soozie

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your special day, and what a fabulous treat and surprise for you. We visited Cessnock zoo many years ago when my children were young, and family lived near by. Nice to hear it is still there for people to enjoy. Sandra.
