Where is it?  West Midland Safari and Leisure Park is a Sarfari park located in Bewdley in Worcestershire, England. It was opened in spring 1973

What is it?
The park holds over 165 species of exotic animals. The drive-through 4-mile (6.4 km) safari contains about 600 animals from around 40 different species from Europe, Africa, North America & Asia.  The park also includes a large Adventure Theme Park, a walk-through Discovery Trail including reptiles, invertebrates, fish, bats, penguins and sea lions and a walk-through African Village with the largest Lemur woods in the UK and a large meerkat mayhem. There is also the newly refurbished Spring Grove House, the grounds of which the park is built in.
There are many rides and attractions found in the amusement park. Wristbands can be bought from the kiosk to allow an unlimited number of rides. However, tickets are also available for purchase for individual rides.

2.  Take a packed lunch.  Food isn't cheap here.  
3. Dog Kennels - limited availability.  Phone the park in advance of your visit. 
4. Take the Safari Bus - for an additional £6 per person you can take the Safari Bus with guide to drive you round the safari.  This will take you off road (weather permitting) and you can get up really close to the animals
