Who is an alpaca day out for?

Really for anyone who loves animals and nature. The Meet & Feed is suitable for all ages, so it is a lovely outing with (grand)children or grandparents too. The walk is for ages 12 and over. Coming with friends, as a couple or with family? Then a private walk or a picnic is a great choice. Companies and teams and care groups are very welcome too; we tailor the programme to the group.

Practical information

  • Address: Hatertseweg 34, 6581 KG Malden, on the main road between Nijmegen and Malden (about 10 minutes from Nijmegen).

  • Getting here: easy to reach by public transport. Coming by car? We will show you where to park when you arrive. See the contact page for directions.
  • Dogs: pets are not allowed, because alpacas are frightened of dogs.
  • Clothing: for the walk we go through the woods, so wear sturdy, waterproof shoes and clothing that can take a few knocks.
