Dull: History and Getting Your Bearings
Dull is an early Christian site with a history dating back at least to the 8th century AD. Highland Safaris is located in the historic village, 400 yards from the B846. All safaris offered by the provider start at this location; the Red Deer Centre is also here. If a safari is part of your plans, you can therefore consider Dull as your starting point. Check the road information for directions again before setting off.
Choose a Session or Tour by Duration
Gold & Gem Panning lasts 45 minutes. The necessary equipment and a short introduction are provided. This activity is available seasonally; check in advance whether it is offered on your travel date.
The archery sessions last 50 minutes and are for participants aged six and over. Gold & Gem Panning and archery are similar in duration, but differ in content. Booking details for the archery sessions and the Mini Safari may change; check them before making firm plans.
The Mini Safari lasts 1.5 hours and is an exploration tour through the surrounding natural wilderness. It is suitable for all ages. In terms of duration, panning and archery are similar at 45 and 50 minutes, while the Mini Safari, at 90 minutes, takes up a longer block of time. This lets you choose between two sessions and a longer tour depending on how much time you have available. The age guidance also differs: archery is for participants aged six and over, while the Mini Safari is suitable for all ages.
Animal Encounters and Other Activities
The experience at the Red Deer Centre includes an encounter with a barn owl and a close-up encounter with red deer. It offers different activities from the sessions and the Mini Safari. As availability may change, check before your visit whether the experience is offered on your chosen date. The Highland Safaris site also has a children’s area and a tractor park. Both are additional activities at the site.
The Discovery Trail: The First 200 Metres
The first 200 metres of the Discovery Trail have a compacted gravel surface, a slight incline and are suitable for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility.
