Start your day with a wild Safari Drive
First stop? Safari Drive, of course.
Hop in the car and set off on an unforgettable journey through our 5-mile Drive, where you’ll come face-to-face with some of the world’s most amazing animals.
Keep your eyes peeled for majestic lions, towering white rhinos, curious camels, playful baboons and herds of antelope roaming along the route.
No two drives are ever quite the same - you never know who might pop up to say hello. Dad can sit back, turn up the safari soundtrack and enjoy the ride.
Explore the Foot Safari
After your drive, it’s time to swap four wheels for two feet and explore the Foot Safari.
There’s so much to see, from incredible animal habitats and viewing spots to family-friendly areas perfect for little explorers. Wander along to the Amur Tiger Trail, watch meerkats on lookout duty, say hello to giraffes and catch our animal displays along the way.
It’s the perfect chance to slow down, take in the sights and enjoy the safari at your own pace.
Discover incredible animal displays
Make your day even wilder with one of our amazing animal displays.
Meet our sea lions and learn how they work with their keepers to showcase their incredible natural abilities, from their agility in the water to the adaptations that make them such fascinating animals.
Or head to our Birds of Prey display to see these incredible hunters soar overhead and discover what makes them such skilled predators.
It’s a brilliant way to get closer to some of the amazing animals at Knowsley Safari.
Refuel with a tasty treat
All that exploring is hungry work... and every great adventure needs a good food stop.
Head to Oasis Restaurant for a proper refuel or grab a pizza to share at Outpost Kitchen. Whether Dad’s after a full meal or just a little pick-me-up, there’s plenty to keep everyone going for the rest of the day.
Find the perfect safari souvenir
Before you head home, make one last stop at the shop and find something to remember your wild day out.
From cuddly companions to fun gifts and little mementos, there’s a keepsake for every explorer to take home.
