West Midlands Safari Park, Stay at the Elephant Lodge, Samburu Lodge 22nd & 23rd August 2024

West Midlands Safari Park is a safari park located in Bewdley in Worcestershire, England. It was opened under the name of West Midland Safari Park in Spring 1973.
The park holds over 165 species of exotic animals and features other attractions such as a small theme park. The park contains the largest groups of white lions, cheetahs, hippopotamuses and meerkats in the UK, as well as the largest lemur walk-through exhibit. It was also the first park in the UK to have the African big five game animals.
The park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The Dhole and Cheetah enclosures in the drive-through safari are part of a larger heathland Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which the park is restoring.

The Severn Valley Railway goes past the Safari Park, so sometimes, your attention will be distracted by the presence of a passing steamy on her way to Kidderminster Town Station. Next time you drive round the park, be sure to look for the large Severn Valley Railway sign on the wire mesh fence. You'll see it right away, you could hardly miss it.
