As well as the lions, you should see chimps, macaque monkeys (very cheeky), rhino, antelope, giraffe, camels, cute meercats, lemurs, and sealions – which take part in a daily show. Don’t forget to keep car windows shut when you drive through the enclosures. Many of the animals can be seen on foot, however, via walkways.
What else is there to do and see at Blair Drummond Safari Park?
Apart from seeing all the animals, there’s loads of other entertainment at the safari park. The outdoor play area has a fort and pirate ship. The whole adventure play park is great for the little’uns to run free. And there’s a few rides (which cost extra), too, including spinning teacups, dodgems, and a wee train ride. There are pedal boats and a big glide slide, which are free. They’ve even got a
dinosaur enclosure, and the inhabitants, including a 21m diplodocus and lifesize T-rex move and make noises controlled by infrared sensors… Don’t feed the prehistoric animals!
