About Wildlife Reimagined
At Wildlife Reimagined our mission is to educate, inspire and reconnect people with nature so they will want to love, respect and preserve our incredible wildlife and the habitats they live in. We do this in 2 ways:
- Wildlife Education Programs: We bring our animals to you! Our fun, interactive and 'hands on' programs can be catered to suit various ages and special events.
- Wildlife Safaris: Our once in a lifetime safaris will get you up close to some amazing wildlife in their natural habitat. If one of our set safaris isn't for you, get in touch with us and we will custom design a safari to target the animals you want to see.
With over 30 years' experience, our wildlife educators will get you passionate about wildlife.
Our Wildlife Educators
Brendan
Brendan has been in the zoo industry for over 20 years. During this time, he has worked at the Australian Reptile Park, Alice Springs Desert Park and the National Zoo and Aquarium. Brendan has worked with a variety of species such as small carnivores and hoofstock. However, his passion lies with native mammals and birds.
His love and passion for the great outdoors and bird/mammal/reptile watching has seen him travel the world in search of wildlife and he has shared this passion with several guests on our wildlife safaris. Some of his favourite wildlife encounters are seeing Palm Cockatoos in Cape York, spotlighting for White-lipped Vipers on Komodo Island and trekking for Red Panda's in remote parts of Nepal.
Brendan is passionate about wildlife conservation and loves educating people about the world's unique wildlife.
Rachael
Rachael has been in the zoo industry for over 13 years. After completing a Bachelor of Applied Science with Honours at Charles Sturt University she decided to become more involved in conservation and education.
Rachael is passionate about travel and the outdoors and has been extremely fortunate to visit some of the world's most iconic wildlife destinations and witness some amazing wildlife interactions with highlights including trekking for Orangutans and Siamangs in the forests of Sumatra.
Accessibility & Inclusion at Wildlife Reimagined
At Wildlife Reimagined, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to connect with nature.
We’re committed to creating experiences that are welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. Whether you live with a disability, are neurodivergent, or simply need a little extra support when meeting wildlife or joining us on safari, we want you to feel safe, included, and inspired.
As a small and growing business, we’re continually learning and finding ways to improve our services. If our standard experiences don’t quite meet your needs, we’re always happy to have a conversation about how we can adapt the experience to make it work for you.
Our goal is simple: to help everyone experience the wonder of wildlife and feel a genuine connection with nature.
Accessibility On Location
Our wildlife incursions are mobile, so we can come to you—helping you enjoy the experience in a familiar and comfortable environment.
For our wildlife tours, we’ll work with you to understand and accommodate your needs wherever possible. Depending on the location and experience, we can provide:
- 🚻 Accessible toilets and drinking water
- 🪑 Plenty of opportunities to rest throughout the experience
- ♿ Accessible parking or drop-off options
If there’s something else you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your experience with us, please let us know. We’re happy to work with you to find an approach that suits you.
Here’s how we can support:
Mobility Support
We’ll work with you to ensure our wildlife incursions and tours are suited to your individual needs, including making reasonable adjustments where possible.
Sensory-Friendly Support
If you identify as neurodivergent or have sensory processing sensitivities, please let us know. We can discuss ways to make the experience more comfortable and predictable for you.
Hearing Support
We can use a microphone and speaker system to help ensure voices are clear and easy to hear.
With advance notice, we’re also happy to accommodate guests who use hearing assistance. Where possible, we can:
- Use clear and simplified verbal explanations throughout the session
- Work with assistive hearing devices you provide, such as personal microphone receivers or loop systems
Custom Sessions
If our regular group tour isn’t the right fit for your needs, we’re happy to explore creating a modified or private session where possible. We’ll work with you to find an approach that helps you feel comfortable, included, and able to enjoy the experience.
Committed to Continuous Improvement
We value your feedback. It helps us continue to improve our services and make our experiences more accessible and inclusive.
If you encounter any barriers, have accessibility concerns, or have suggestions for how we can improve, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch with us at:

Working With Local Businesses
At Wildlife Reimagined, we incorporate citizen science into every safari, turning each wildlife encounter into an opportunity to contribute to conservation and research.
Throughout our safaris, we record wildlife sightings, including species, location, habitat, and behaviour. These observations are uploaded to iNaturalist, while bird sightings are also submitted to eBird.
By documenting the wildlife we encounter, our guests help contribute valuable data that can support research, monitoring, and a greater understanding of our local wildlife.

Working With Local Businesses
We’re proud to partner with local businesses to create the best experiences possible for our guests.
One of our valued local partners is Clementine Bakery, who provides delicious baked goods for our wildlife safaris. Supporting local businesses allows us to create memorable experiences while contributing to the wonderful community around us.
Eliminating Single-Use Plastics

Eliminating Single-Use Plastics
We provide stainless steel water bottles and fresh water refills for guests’ own bottles throughout our experiences.
For our picnics, we use reusable packaging and tableware, helping us avoid single-use materials wherever possible.
It’s one of the ways we’re working to reduce waste and make our wildlife experiences more sustainable.
Waste Management
Native Tree-Planting
Eliminating Single-Use Plastics
We’re committed to reducing waste and making the most of the resources we use.
We compost all organic materials, with the finished compost returned to our gardens to help nourish the soil and plants. We also recycle cardboard, cans from our tours, and soft plastics wherever possible.
Old branches and garden trimmings are turned into mulch, giving them a second life in our gardens rather than sending them to landfill.
These simple practices help us minimise waste, reuse resources, and care for the environments we share with wildlife.
Native Tree-Planting

Native Tree-Planting
For every wildlife safari booked, we plant a native tree in the Yass Valley, helping restore habitat and support local biodiversity.
We’re also proud to partner with Yass Valley Landcare, working together to contribute to the protection and restoration of our local environment.
Through every safari, we aim to give back to the landscapes and wildlife that make these experiences so special.
Giving Back
Native Tree-Planting
Native Tree-Planting
Every wildlife tour contributes between $1 and $5 directly to local environmental, cultural, and community organisations.
Through these contributions, we’re able to support the people, projects, and organisations working to protect our local environment, celebrate culture, and strengthen our community.
We believe every adventure should give something back to the places and communities that make it possible.
