Longleat Safari Park

[aaronnorth]

Just been staying at the capsite which is literally a two minute walk away from the main attraction. You can hear the sea lions barking? all day, with the lions then taking over at night!
The good thing about it is you purchase a passport ticket which last you all season, so even if you dont visit all of the attractions you have still got until the end of the season to do so. I doubt you would be able to do it all in a day anyway. The safari park takes 2hrs.
We also used clubcard pints which meant it cost us £6.50 each :shock: :thumbup: as apposed to £23 (which is still a bargain IMO!)

I also learned the importance of why UV filters are used, so that shall bemy next purchase, i have never really needed one in the past.

You could feed the deer from the car





And the sea lions which swim right beside the Safari boat.







Thanks for looking

me too lol, we may of even walked past each other! i went from 22nd Oct-1st September.

The "Monkey Jungle" was closed but we had no intentions of passing through it anyway, you could still see them from the road that runs beside it.

Thanks for all the comments.

Nice pics Aaron. Great seeing a butterfly emerge and pump those wings up hey?

Did you recognise any of the keepers btw?
