What we are

West Midlands Safari Park is an award-winning visitor attraction, located in Worcestershire in the heart of England. It is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and critically endangered species, with a four-mile safari drive-through, walk-through Discovery Trail, African Village and Lemur Woods, as well beautiful walking trails, allowing guests to experience up close encounters with hundreds of amazing animals. Guests can also choose from a wide range of catering and retail outlets, as well as enjoying a large amusement area with over 25 rides and attractions providing the ideal venue for family days out.

In 2021, the Park introduced Safari Lodges – luxury accommodation allowing guests to stay overnight for the first time. Guests can wake up to incredible sights of elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos and red pandas, or sleep just a ‘whisker’ away from lions, white lions, tigers and cheetahs.

In addition, the Park is home to three incredible venues – Spring Grove House, Treetops Pavillion and Cellarz, which play host to weddings, corporate events and social celebrations.

Our mission is to bring people together to create unique wildlife experiences that exhilarate, educate and leave memories to last a lifetime.

Our 200-acre site allows us to do just that, whether you’re a day guest, wedding guest or overnight guest! We create experiences unlike no other, attracting visitors from across the Midlands and beyond.

Our brand and our team members live by our core values. We’re passionate and work with a sense of togetherness, always striving to be progressive, with preservation at the heart of everything we do, all while creating unforgettable experiences.
