Ever wondered what Knowsley Safari is like after the gates close?
For just three nights this summer, families can step into a world of adventure with Safari Sleepover - an exclusive overnight experience packed with wild moments, campfire fun and unforgettable memories.
📅 8th, 15th and 22nd August 2026. Just 8 tents available per night!
Your adventure under the stars begins with a private after-hours tour of the Foot Safari, exploring the park when the crowds have gone, and the animals are winding down for the evening.
Then it’s time to head back to camp…
Gather around the fire, learn bushcraft skills, toast marshmallows, share stories and enjoy an evening outdoors surrounded by the sights and sounds of the safari.
As night falls, cosy up in your tent and sleep under the stars with the roar of the safari as your soundtrack.
Wake up ready for more adventure with a campfire breakfast, before joining an exclusive early-morning Safari Drive to see our animals at their most active before anyone else arrives.
A wild night your family will remember forever at one of the most exciting family days out near Liverpool.
