LONGLEAT, WARMINSTER,<br />
WILTSHIRE<br />
At Longleat, a little south of the <strong>Great</strong><br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Way</strong>, you can take your little<br />
lions on a wild drive through a safari<br />
park. From the madness of the monkey drivethrough<br />
to the awe-inspiring sight of real-life<br />
rhinos in the Big Game Park – it’s sure to be a<br />
lasting memory. Buckle them in to see their<br />
faces light up over those enigmatic macaques,<br />
who aren’t shy, so make sure you wind up the<br />
windows – unless you want an extra cheeky<br />
monkey in the backseat. Elsewhere there<br />
are lions, tigers, a pack of wolves, zebras,<br />
ostriches and much more. For those that<br />
want to get hands-on with the animals, there<br />
are various feeding opportunities – extend a<br />
branch off the pier for the giraffe, hand-feed<br />
deer from your car window, throw fish to the<br />
sea lions from the boat on the lake, hold cups<br />
of nectar for rainbow lorikeets. Cute!<br />
