Watch your wing-mirrors!
Spend a day with your family at one of Britain's fabulous safari parks. More recently safari parks have enjoyed a surge of popularity and offer a fantastic chance to see wild and exotic animals roaming free.
For most safari parks you'll need your own vehicle, but some offer safari buses to take you around. Here are a few of the best safari parks in Britain:
Opened in 1966, Longleat was the first safari park to be opened outside of Africa, and over 40 years later, it's still one of Britain's most popular wildlife attractions. The safari journey takes you through the East Africa Reserve, Big Game Park, Wolf Wood, Tiger Territory, Lion Country and Monkey Jungle (but beware, the monkeys like to hitch rides from passing vehicles!).
