Longleat Safari Park - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)
Explore the UK's first safari park at Longleat
Longleat, wiltshire.
Feed giraffes by hand and walk on the wildside with lemurs at this popular safari park, found in the picturesque grounds of historic Longleat House.
First opened in 1966, Longleat Safari Park was the first drive-through attraction of its kind outside Africa, and it's still running strong today. With countless species of animals and attractions like Penguin Island, Stingray Bay, Jungle Cruise and an adventure castle, it's a great day out for the entire family. Explore the animal habitats on a road tour through the park, before stepping onto the Main Square and venturing into koala habitats, outdoor playgrounds and hedge mazes.

And, of course, visitors can also extend their stay in the area with a tour through Longleat House and its surrounding pleasure gardens.

Longleat safari park longleat safari park.
Longleat Safari Park was one of the first drive-through safari parks outside Africa when it opened in 1966. The Park was seen as a massive breakthrough in how captive animals were kept, with them being allowed to roam freely rather than being in a cage.
With more than 500 animals and a whole host of different areas to explore including Gorilla Island, Cheetah Kingdom and Tiger Territory, Longleat Safari Park is a brilliant day out for the whole family.
The nearby Longleat House is also available to visit with a 'passport' ticket, allowing you entry across all attractions in the estate.

The park was far too busy, so rather than limiting numbers the management continue to let visitors book unlike other attractions. The result - 1000s of people all crammed together like a can of sardines. So the experience takes 3 times longer. The lions are mostly sleeping, there's 1 tiger and a leopard.
