Longleat Safari Park

Longleat Safari Park was opened in 1966 and was the first drive-through safari park outside Africa. The safari park is in the grounds of Longleat House, the home of the 7th Marquess of Bath and a tourist attraction in its own right.

The safari park was the first of its kind anywhere in the world and was considered to be a massive breakthrough in the way in which captive animals were kept, with the animals roaming freely and the visitors in cages (cars).

Amazing fact: Longleat's lions eat around 40-tonnes of meat a year. That's equivalent to 2 nine-stone people every day.
