Longleat

Longleat Safari & Adventure Park opens its doors to the public for the start of the 2012 season on Saturday, February 11th.

Longleat has been at the forefront of wildlife attractions ever since it opened the world’s first Safari Park outside of Africa back in 1966.

And this year Longleat’s ground-breaking reputation is further underlined with spectacularly-themed new displays allowing visitors to enjoy incredibly close encounters with exotic arrivals from across the globe.

There is a stunning new addition to Longleat Safari Park’s famous big cats in the shape of Cheetah Kingdom; home to the world’s fastest land animals, capable of speeds in excess of 60mph.

Following on from its successful launch in 2011 the spectacular Hunters of the Sky aerial birds of prey show in Longleat Adventure Park is even bigger and better this year with more birds, new displays and additional opportunities for visitors to handle the birds.

Among other new attractions set to open in the coming months is the multi-million pound, lakeside gorilla enclosure which will provide a spacious, state-of-the-art camp for a troop of western lowland gorillas.

Plus there will be a unique opportunity to come face to face with six-metre-tall Rothschild’s giraffes on a spectacular eye-level feeding platform at the new African Village in the Safari Park.

Visitors will also be able to enter a brand new Lemur Walkthrough display with the opportunity to wander among a colony of these free-roaming primates from the island of Madagascar.

In addition to the new attractions and displays, Longleat will be building on the huge success of last year’s events programme which included Halloween, Fireworks Nights and a Christmas Spectacular with a series of exciting new events and activities throughout the year.

Set within 900 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped grounds and with its unique mix of historic stately home, world famous Safari Park and award-winning family attractions Longleat is one of the UK’s best loved tourist destinations.
