Africa Alive! is set in 100 acres of stunning Suffolk countryside and is the perfect day out for the whole family.

The spectacular centerpiece of this beautiful park is the 'Plains of Africa', a perfect place to spot five species of African Savannah animals, including graceful giraffes and heavyweight rhinos. Meet the thousands of fascinating animals that call Africa Alive Reserve their home, as they are protected from extinction in the wild.

Enjoy a close-up view of the magnificent lions from the 'Lookout Lodge' viewing point. The park is also home to some other amazing primates including, king colobus monkeys, drill and numerous species of Lemurs.

Bird lovers can also enjoy spotting native nature from the new 'Wader's Lake' boardwalk or seeing some African feathered friends in our Woodland Walk!

Hot and cold drinks food and snacks are available during your visit at one of the many pitstops; The Jungle Juice Bar, The Keepers Hut, The Giraffe Hut, Bongo Bites or Limpopa. Car Parking is free. The gift shop has hundreds of souvenirs and gifts for all ages.

Small children love the park, but it can be a long walk for their little legs! Single and double strollers are available for hire at the main entrance. Strollers are available for children age 1-6 years. Keep an eye out for exciting events throughout the year and during school holidays!
