Looking for an unforgettable family adventure? Longleat Safari Park offers a thrilling drive-through experience where you can encounter some of the world's most incredible animals without leaving your car.
Why Longleat Stands Out
As the UK's first-ever safari park, Longleat has been delighting visitors since 1966. Nestled in the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, this 900-acre park is home to over 500 animals across 100 species.
Must-See Attractions
- Big Cat Territory: Marvel at majestic lions and speedy cheetahs roaming freely
- Monkey Mayhem: Watch playful monkeys climb on vehicles (at your own risk!)
- African Village: Spot giraffes, zebras, and rhinos in their naturalistic habitats
- Wolf Wood: Observe these fascinating predators in a specially designed enclosure
Planning Your Visit
The safari drive takes approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on animal activity. For the best experience:
- Arrive early to avoid queues
- Keep windows closed in predator areas
- Have your camera ready for amazing photo opportunities
- Check the weather forecast as some animals are less active in rain
After your safari adventure, explore the rest of Longleat's attractions including a hedge maze, boat safari, and the famous Longleat House.
