Relocating animals between zoos or wildlife parks demands precision coordination and experienced handlers. Our specialists have relocated primates, marsupials, and small carnivores between major UK and EU facilities with full welfare assurance.
We work under animal welfare licensing and create containment setups designed for safety and temperature control. Each handler is trained in restraint techniques appropriate to the species, ensuring the move is both efficient and compliant.
Our processes typically shorten enclosure-to-enclosure time by 25%, reducing animal stress and logistical disruption for institutions.
Private collections and sanctuaries require discreet, compliant transport services. Our team works under confidentiality agreements and manages logistics for exotic mammals in personal holdings or rescue centres.
Every journey includes veterinary pre-assessment, route risk evaluation, and transport insurance cover. We also handle post-arrival acclimation support, helping animals settle with minimal distress.
Institutions choosing our sanctuary relocation packages benefit from simplified permitting and hands-on coordination from start to finish.
Animal welfare begins with veterinary oversight. Each exotic mammal relocation is supported by our partner veterinary network, ensuring health certification, sedation (if required), and monitoring throughout travel.
We maintain temperature, oxygen, and hydration logs for every journey, following DEFRA’s Transport of Animals (Regulations) 2023. This ensures total compliance and minimal physiological stress.
Facilities report a 30% improvement in relocation recovery time when animals are transported under our veterinary protocols.
International transport of exotic mammals often involves CITES Appendix I–III documentation. Our compliance team manages import/export licenses, health certificates, and legal documentation directly with the relevant authorities.
This eliminates paperwork delays and prevents fines or shipment rejection. We maintain a 100% record of successful CITES clearance since 2018.

Temperature instability is one of the biggest risks during relocation. Our fleet uses precision environmental control systems with continuous telemetry to maintain safe temperature and humidity levels for tropical and desert mammals alike.
Vehicles are equipped with HEPA filtration, airflow balancing, and backup power systems for long-distance operations.
Clients transporting temperature-sensitive species such as fennec foxes or sugar gliders benefit from our climate-stable containment, which helps prevent thermal stress and post-relocation illness.
We design custom transport enclosures based on animal size, behavioural traits, and IATA standards. Materials are chosen for safety, comfort, and minimal movement noise.
Our engineers coordinate with zoological teams to create containment units with built-in hydration access, visibility control, and secure locking mechanisms. This ensures safety during loading, transit, and unloading phases.
Institutions report a 15% reduction in injury risk during relocation when using our custom containment systems.
