Yorkshire Wildlife Park

For my birthday back in May I decided that I’d like to go back to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The last time we went, all the way back in 2016 (!) we were very impressed but we were even more so this time. They’ve expanded greatly and everywhere looks fantastic with a whole shopping area just before the entrance plus larger enclosures for all the animals. I’ve been to a few wildlife parks lately which have cheetahs (my favourite wild animal) but they hadn’t been out and about so I was incredibly happy to see so many here and be able to take photos of them.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park 2016

Back in May we made a return visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Park (you can read about our first visit here). Then, as now, we found it to be an excellent day out and well worth the entrance fee. Since our last visit they had added some new animals which were a real highlight – three new polar bears to make four in total, plus some armadillos which we’d never seen before and which I had no idea moved quite so fast!

Longleat Safari Park Part One: Safari

Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space. 

On my birthday in May (yes, I’m that behind again!) I’d decided that I’d like to make a return trip to Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire. It had been at least a decade since I was there last and in that time the Park has undergone a lot of improvements, including the acquisition of some cheetahs, which are one of my favourite animals.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space. 

On a fantastically sunny day in early September we headed out to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Our main intention was to see the newly installed polar bear, which we achieved, but we were thoroughly impressed with the Park as a whole. It had an excellent range of animals from lions and tigers, to zebras and meerkats and giraffes and capybaras. Viewing platforms were well positioned and actually being able to walk about amongst some of the animals like the wallabies, lemurs and squirrel monkeys was an unexpected treat.
