About
Are you ready for an adventure, one that spans continents, species and millions of years? West Midlands Safari Park has just the thing all wrapped up and raring to go! Grab your ride wristbands, find your favourite animal and most of all have an amazing experience!
West Midlands Safari Park's Animal Attractions There are loads of animals to see here, and you'll have lots of opportunities to discover new animals and take some brilliant photos! The four-mile Safari Drive offers unparalleled views of some of the world's most amazing and endangered species, including big cats, wild dogs, antelope and much more. Get up close to other exotic animals like the groovy zebras, huge-horned Ankole cattle, Congo buffalos, the swamp-loving red lechwe and the eland - the largest of all antelope species.
Explore the Wild Asia area with Indian rhinos, the Borderlands where you can spot the Bactrian camels and of course, the magnificent elephants. It's a safari drive like no other! Explore the African Walking Trail and spot enormous African elephants, gaze at the elegant giraffes, and observe the impressive rhinos as they graze in their environment!
There's more to see in the Safari Walk areas too. From here set out on the all-weather Discovery Trail. It features daily Sea Lion shows, a rainbow of feathers at Lorikeet Landing and a healthy dose of the heebie-jeebies at Reptile World.
Spot green anacondas and get up-close to creepy crawlies and marine life in the aquarium. That is before you find yourself lost in the Land of the Living Dinosaurs - the UK’s largest animatronic dinosaur exhibit with further prehistoric beasts to see next door in Ice Age. Do you have a warm place in your heart for all creatures nocturnal?
In the dark, damp depths of the Twilight Cave families can uncover amazing animals like Rodrigues fruit bats and Seba's short-tailed bats. Did you see that?! The douroucouli (night monkey) just went by!
Enjoy daily talks at multiple animal enclosures around the park like Penguin Cove or daily Lemur talks! Observe the fascinating Humboldt penguins as they emerge from the water to “chill” on their beach. Attend public talks and learn about each unique creature at the park.
Past the Theme Park, there's even more animals to see on foot, such as the impressive pod of hippos, Sumatran tiger family in Tiger Tropics and the magnificent lion brothers at Lion Ridge. There is also a chance to see playful meerkats and cheeky lemurs in the African Village. VIP Experiences Looking for something more special?
You can also experience some VIP treatment and a VIP safari! From a minibus-guided Safari tour or an ultimate VIP tour, to a lemur & meerkat keeper for a day and plenty more! With the helpful staff on hand, you're sure to have a lovely time, as you spend time with playful lemurs or learn what it takes to be a giraffe keeper!
