Africa Alive! |
Africa Alive! (which used to be known as the Suffolk Wildlife Park) is an amazing safari park with lots to see and do, where everyone will have fun.
The park has 100 acres of enclosures and habitat to discover, so you’ll need to spend the whole day here if you want to see it all!
Here are some of the highlights:
Safari Roadtrain: A good way to look round is the Safari Roadtrain, which is absolutely free. This is always an exciting way for children to explore the park whilst saving tired legs!
Discovery Centre: An exciting room in which you can get hands-on with some of the smaller animals and reptiles, and look at the factual displays.
Kingdom of the Lion: An amazing way to see the lions, and take beautiful, unobstructed photos from Lookout Lodge.
Farmyard Corner: In Farmyard Corner you can get hands on with some of the small animals, like rabbits, or go to the Aardvark House, where a number of nocturnal species live.
Plains of Africa: A recreation of the real African Savannah, Plains of Africa is an amazing enclosure where lots of animals, such as giraffes and huge rhinos, roam together just as they would in the wild.
Lemur Encounters: Walk through the lemur enclosure and watch the captivating ring-tailed lemurs as they play.
The Wild Zone: The Wild Zone is an innovative indoor play area, with an interactive rope bridge, a volcanic river of foam balls and snake slides, and a dedicated area for under 5s (under 12s only)
Book-On-The-Day Experiences
The particpants will go into the meerkat enclosure with a keeper.
