Longleat

Longleat, set within 9,000 acres of stunning Wiltshire parkland near Warminster, is one of the UK's most iconic wildlife and heritage destinations. As the birthplace of the drive-through safari park outside Africa when it opened in 1966, Longleat continues to thrill visitors with its famous Safari Drive, where lions, tigers, wolves, zebras, and African painted dogs can be encountered at close range from the comfort of a vehicle. Beyond the safari, guests can hand-feed giraffes and deer, take a Jungle Cruise across the lake to meet sea lions and feed them fish, walk among meerkats and giant otters, and visit Koala Creek — home to England's only koalas. The historic Elizabethan Longleat House, world-famous hedge maze, butterfly house, and lorikeet garden round out an extraordinary day out for families and nature lovers alike.
