The star of SSC's hugely popular Animal Park
series, Longleat Safari Park, celebrates its
40th Anniversary this year. Discover some of the world's most magnificent animals in this first
safari park outside of Africa ... see how you measure up to a giraffe, watch out for the zebras
crossing and be enthralled by the majestic lions and tigers!
Continue your adventure aboard the Safari Boats for a sea lion-escorted cruise, find
yourself going round in circles in the Longleat Hedge Maze, enjoy a fun-packed ride on the
Longleat Railway before discovering the treasures and heirlooms within Longleat House ... your day
at Longleat will never be long enough. The Longleat Passport Ticket offers once-only entry
into each attraction but on any day during the season. See as many attractions as you like one
day and then come back on any date before the close of season to see those attractions
previously missed - the choice is yours.
Keepers at Longleat Safari Park are often kept busy during the summer with the birth of
baby animals and have recently seen the arrival of wolf cubs, sea lion pups, ostrich chicks, lion
cubs as well as baby girafes, Bactrian camels and tapirs. Visitors can see the young animals
on display.
At birth the baby wolves measure just 15 cms in length and weigh around 500 grams.
After spending the first weeks of life underground, the pups begin to emerge into the outside
world. The cubs are just the latest in a string of breeding successes at the Wiltshire wildlife attraction.
As well as all the animal attractions, Longleat puts on special shows during the
summer. Phone or visit the website for all details including prices and opening times.
