The award-winning West Midland Safari Park offers a fantastic combination of over 1,500 magical animal encounters and great amusement rides to suit children of all ages.

One of the most popular family days out in the Midlands, the four-mile, self-drive safari brings visitors face to face with a variety of wild and wonderful animals in different zones. Explore African Plains to discover the herd of southern white rhino, giraffe, zebra, ostrich, Ankole cattle, waterbuck, Congo buffalo and more.

Elephant Valley is home to the park’s wonderful African elephants and you’ll find the huge Asian water buffalo, the dainty blackbuck, the world’s rarest deer and the armoured greater one-horned rhino in Wild Asia. Marvel at some of the world’s greatest hunters including cheetah, tigers, African wild dogs and the African lion.

After your safari, head for the African Village to feed goats and sheep and see Hippo Lakes, lemurs and meerkats, or journey back in time at Land of the Living Dinosaurs, the large animatronic dinosaur attraction.

Follow the Discovery Trail to enjoy encounters, shows and talks including Penguin Cove, Creepy Crawlies, Sea Lion Theatre, Reptile World and Lorikeet Landing.

Open in the summer season only, the Adventure Theme Park has rides to suit all ages and tastes, from roller coasters, a tower drop and pirate ship to dodgems, a ghost train and carousels.
