Went there on a hot Arpil weekend this year for the first time. It was all fun and games until you realise how small the safari park is. We drove in our car and I guess everyone else had the same idea because there was a mini traffic jam looping across the park which made getting around difficult but it also highlighted the small space the animals are kept captive. For example the tigers, bear and lions were all in one area seperated by different gates. On top of that, if that many people were driving their cars in just one day, then how much air pollution do these poor animals have to put up with throughout the year? I felt really guilty and ashamed driving around, I didnt expect the conditions to be that bad and its my fault for not doing any research. No point in spending money to help animal cruelty in the name of short term entertainment. Maybe if it was a safari park of decent size with healthy looking animals I could give it a good review. The one star is for the good food and ice cream and swan ride in the lake.
