Tucked away in Bewdley, Worcestershire, the West Midland Safari and Leisure Park offers an unforgettable day trip for animal lovers, thrill seekers, and anyone looking for a wild adventure just a short drive from the everyday.

Opened in Spring 1973, the park has since become home to over 165 species of exotic animals—each one adding to the park’s rich tapestry of wildlife experiences.

🐘 A Drive Through the Wild

One of the most exciting parts of the park is the drive-through safari. Imagine rolling down your window and coming face-to-face (safely!) with lions, elephants, rhinos, zebras, and giraffes—all roaming free in vast, naturalistic enclosures.

It’s not every day you get to pause in your car while a rhino casually crosses your path or a curious giraffe peers into your window. Every moment is an unexpected thrill.

But the adventure doesn’t stop with the animals.
The leisure park offers rides, attractions, and family-friendly entertainment. Whether you’re in the mood for a roller coaster rush or a gentle spin on the carousel, there’s something for every age and thrill level.

It’s the perfect way to end the day after your safari tour—with a little laughter, a few screams of joy, and maybe even an ice cream cone in hand.

📸 Moments Worth Remembering

From wide-eyed moments of wonder to snapshots with towering giraffes, the West Midlands Safari Park is more than just a destination—it’s a memory-making haven.

If you’re planning a visit or just looking for a break from the ordinary, this place is absolutely worth adding to your list.

Whether you’re five or fifty-five, there’s something magical about seeing wild animals up close and remembering that adventure doesn’t always mean boarding a plane.
Sometimes, it’s just a short drive away.
