Suffolk Wildlife Park- general editorial

Out of Africa

Take a walk on the wild side and experience the thrill of your very own safari adventure at one of the UK’s largest and most exciting wildlife attractions. Guide your expedition along one of three explorer trails over the grassy plains for some close encounters with big African game including rhino, lion, cheetah, giraffe, buffalo and hyaena.

The adventure of a lifetime!

Almost 100 acres of stunning parkland provides a dramatic setting for you to experience a walking safari amongst an abundance of African wildlife. The innovative design of the park brings you closer to the wilds of Africa than you ever thought possible. If the size of the park sounds a little daunting, don’t worry, you can take a trip on the safari roadtrain with its fascinating live commentary.
