Located in the "wilds" of Bedfordshire, near Milton Keynes, this venerable Safari Park is part of a huge estate. Europe's biggest pride of lions roam freely across a 32 acre reserve, bears and wolves run together and you can walk with elephants. A very good day out, not far from London and handy for touring the Midlands.
Whipsnade Zoo
At Whipsnade, just north of London in Bedfordshire, the lions roam free - but you watch from a glassed in enclosure. The chimps have their own chimpnasium and the lemurs live on an island that you can visit. At this country branch of the London Zoo, operated by the Zoological Society of London, the animals decide whether and when to show themselves - the people are the ones "enclosed."
Highland Wildlife Park
Scottish and European Wildlife as well as rare and endangered animals of the mountains and tundra. See Japanese Macaques - the northernmost living non-human primate. This park, operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, is associated with Edinburgh Zoo.
