Keepers will be hosting fascinating talks at 1.30pm on weekends and school holidays. Grandstand seating allows visitors to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful views of the herd as they graze.

Don't miss our Scaly Tales keeper demonstration to learn more about all the fascinating creatures in Reptile Ranch!
Monkey Mayhem
Monkey Mayhem is home to a large breeding troop of Guianan squirrel monkeys.
Head on over to watch as the monkeys show off their climbing skills as they move along the ropes, trees, and vantage points in their new home, just as they would in the wild.
Humboldt Harbour
Humboldt Harbour is home to a large colony of Humboldt penguins.
The newly installed viewing windows will give visitors a unique insight into the complex system of burrows that the penguins make each year. While on the other side of the enclosure, visitors will be able to watch the penguins diving and playing below the surface of the water.
birds of prey
The Birds of Prey is an impressive and memorable part of the Foot Safari.
Walk around the aviaries to visit the home of an African spotted eagle owl, red-legged seriema, striated caracara, lanner falcon, common kestrel, great grey owl and the Turkmenian eagle owl.
Sea Lion Beach
Sea Lion Beach is home to three female Californian sea lions; Kira, Leoni and Gala.
Watch the three female sea lions demonstrate their natural swimming talents, enjoy feeding and see them relaxing in and out of the water.
land of lemurs
Enter into their woodland home and see if you can spot the lemurs as they forage, snooze, and climb through the trees above your head.
Land of Lemurs is home to three species of these endangered mammals - ring-tailed lemurs, red-bellied lemurs, and black and white ruffed lemurs.
Unfortunately due to the nature of this walk-though experience it is not possible to take pushchairs or prams into Land of Lemurs. There is an area where these can be stored (at owners own risk) whilst you are in the enclosure.
Otter Falls
Otter Falls is home to a family of Asian short-clawed otters. You can see them playing in and around their cascading waterfall in their purpose built enclosure. Or spot them in their house through the viewing window.
Birds in action
In the heart of the leisure area, the amphitheatre is overlooked by large open grassy areas and picnic benches.
Birds in Action is home to blue and gold macaw, military macaw, green-winged macaw, greater sulphur crested cockatoo, and the lesser cockatoo.
desert springs
Discover a troop of mischievious meerkats in their specially created habitat, designed to encourage natural foraging, burrowing and breeding behaviour. Spot the nocturnal porcupines, snoozing happily in their enclosure and meet a family of yellow mongooses.
The sandy sanctuary mimics the animals' natural desert environment, with rocky areas and artificial termite mounds. Keepers will spread feeds around the area, encouraging the animals' natural curiosity to forage out food. Each species has their own special house, where they can retreat into a burrow or den, suited to their natural preferences for sleeping.
Desert Springs is home to yellow mongoose, meerkats and cape porcupines.
Australian walkabout
Australian Walkabout is home to the red necked wallabies.
Wander with wallabies in the Australian Walkabout. The entrance is opposite Elephant Meadow in the concrete car park and please note, a one way system is in place.
Each Spring you'll be able to spot the precious baby joeys, snugly protected in their mother's pouch. Did you know wallabies are only pregnant for one month and give birth to a joey the size of a bumble bee!
Cachorro Range
Bush dogs are small, stocky carnivores that are native to South America.
Cachorro Range is home to a pack of two bush dogs. The pack consists of two males; Chili and Bandit.
They are a tight-knit group but can be quite shy animals, so visitors may hear their high-pitched calling noises as they communicate with each other before they see them!
farmyard friends
Meet all your favourite farmyard animals here in this walk-through enclosure; home to Anglo-nubian goats, Somali black-headed sheep, one Abyssinian donkey, a friendly Shetland pony and two Middle white pigs.
Head into the enclosure with these animals and meet them up close. Don't forget your camera!
chelonia pathways
Chelonia Pathways is an outdoor habitat, home to a group of Aldabra giant tortoises. Their enclosure enables visitors to see the tortoises' outdoor and indoor home, thanks to a specially designed bridge and viewing windows.
Whether rain or shine, visitors can enjoy these majestic animals thanks to a viewing window into their home.
Himalayan heights
This innovative enclosure has been specially designed to suit the adaptations of the park's adorable red pandas. Opened in 2017, when this beautiful russet-coated species became resident at Woburn Safari Park for the first time ever.
The red pandas have a house with large viewing windows for visitors, with an overhead tunnel leading out into their spacious enclosure, filled with a rope ladders, nest boxes and bushes to hide in!
Read more about the red panda.
