Enjoy incredibly close encounters with some of the world’s most amazing animals in the Longleat drive-through Safari Park just 40 miles away from Pontin’s Breansands Holiday Park.

See how your car measures up to giraffe, mind the zebras crossing, remember that the rhinos have right of way, watch out for

the wolves and beware of our meddling monkeys… there is so much to look out for in this amazing world of animals!

In 1966, Longleat caused a revolution in the world of zoological collections by becoming the first location outside Africa to open a drive-through Safari Park.

Despite the understandable initial concerns of locals with regard to the introduction of lions to Wiltshire, the Safari Park concept has been a great success and Longleat’s ground-breaking innovation has been repeated at wildlife collections all over the world.

Some 40 years later this unique way of showing animals in their natural surroundings still delights and amazes hundreds of thousands of visitors to Longleat each year.
