West Midland Safari Park

The 200-acre wildlife park features extensive drive-through sections where visitors observe African animals including lions, elephants, giraffes, and rhinoceros in naturalistic settings.

Founded by Jimmy Chipperfield in April 1973, the park began with circus animals and expanded to become the first British facility housing all African big five species.

The park maintains membership in the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums, contributing to international wildlife conservation and breeding programs.

Visitors need to pre-book specific time slots for the drive-through safari experience, which is included in the standard admission price starting from £19.90.

The facility maintains the largest populations of white lions, cheetahs, hippopotamuses, and meerkats in the United Kingdom, alongside an extensive lemur walkthrough exhibit.
