For a free zoo it's got a great selection of animals - if you're in town with kids, they will love it.

Just north of downtown, catch a number of buses from Watertower Place or walk along the riverfront.

Spana (Society for the protection of animals abroad) works hard to provide veterinary care for donkeys, mules and horses in Marrakech. If you are interested in their work and in making a contribution to their coffers, it is worth a visit to their centre at Cite Mohammadi Daoudiat where they will show you what they do - and where you will be able to see some of the animals at first hand. There are also cats and dogs in need of adoption. If visiting, do bear in mind that it is not a place of family entertainment but of care and veterinary treatment for poorly animals. If, like us, you saw many mules and donkeys in the city that were overworked and undernourished, why not give something back by contributing to this extremely worthy organisation?

Chiang Mai, like the rest of Thailand, has a huge problem with stray dogs. How about visiting Care for Dogs, a dog rescue and adoption centre, a few miles outside Chiang Mai? You can see the amazing work they are doing and even take some dogs for a walk. We went yesterday and it is well worth a visit!

The Tiger Temple is a Buddhist temple about 38km from Kanchanaburi. The monks look after numerous animals, among them several tame tigers that walk around freely once a day and can be petted by tourists.

I wanted to spend some time with elephants but felt uneasy about the usual tourist trips to see them. We found the elephant nature park and although it's more expensive we went with them. I was so glad we did, you spend a whole day with the elephants, feeding and washing them, and receive a real education on how elephants are treated elsewhere in Thailand. It was one of the highlights of our three week trip and i'd return in a second. You can visit for a day or stay overnight.

You can tell a lot about people by the way they treat animals and although the Cubans have very little wealth they will still spend pesos for the care of their pets. Take 150 euros or so of medicines purchased from your local vet (and free reps food supplement samples if you can get them) and introduce yourself to the diminutive but highly energetic Doña Milagros Reyes at Havana's main veterinary clinic. Wonderful way of meeting people off the tourist track, (si puedes hablar Español) and even if you don´t, you´ll get showered with thanks anyway. Get there before Fidel goes folks, because while it may be far from perfect, for people who have nothing the Cubans still give everything. It´s about 3 Conv. pesos from the city centre by taxi and then walk back to find dozens of front parlours converted into sales points selling everything from used wood screws to mallets for crushing sugar cane.
