Woburn Safari Park
The Safari Drive
The Safari Reserves, with their wide open spaces, provide the perfect habitat for the park’s animals to roam freely and behave naturally. They also offer you the opportunity to get an unparalleled look at the world’s most magnificent creatures.
You drive your own vehicle through the reserves as often as you wish during the day. Each circuit takes between 45 minutes to one hour. You’ll experience the thrill of being right alongside White Rhino, Tigers, Lions and Giraffes to name but a few. On the Navajo Trail you’ll encounter bears and wolves running together, just as they would have in Britain around 1000 years ago. You’ll also drive your car through Europe’s most diverse primate reserve, spotting three different types of Monkey.
Some of the animals to look out for in the Safari Reserves are: Rhino, Eland, Scimitar Horned Oryx (Antelope), Lechwe (Antelope), Gemsbok (Antelope), Giraffe, Ankole, Zebra, Elephant, Camel, Bison, Bongo (Antelope), Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Black Bear, Congo Buffalo, Colobus and Patas Monkeys and Barbary Apes.
All these animals can quite literally be a windscreen's width away from you! After you have driven through the reserves park your car in the Wild World Leisure Area and book a ride on the Safari Lorry at Junglies Gift Shop (only available during main/high season, separate charge applies, see timetable for details) and we’ll take you off road (weather permitting) into the heart of the animal’s territories in the first section of the Reserves with Rhino, Antelopes, Giraffes, Buffalo and Zebras. It’s an experience not to be missed.
Wild World Leasure Area
The excitement doesn't stop once you leave the Safari Reserves. It continues in our 40 acre leisure area. There’s more animals to see and more adventures to be had. Hold on to your visitor guide and map and you won’t want to miss out on any of our animal demonstrations and keeper talks. Woburn has the fullest programme in the UK! These take place throughout the day - the timetable is given to you on arrival. It’s a great opportunity to meet the animals and talk with the staff that care for them.
These include:
- Sea Lion displays (indoors) and keeper talks (outdoors)
- Birds of Prey Flying Demonstrations
- Animals and Birds in Action (including free flying parrots)
- Keeper talks at feeding time: Monkey Business, Penguin World and Land of the Lemurs
Make sure you bring some comfortable shoes too so that you can enjoy your Foot Safari round the Wild World Leisure Ares for exciting animal encounters and to go wild in out play areas
