Vehicles such as convertibles, soft top cars and motorbikes are not allowed in the Safari Park for the safety of both our guests and the animals in our collection.

We are able to accommodate pickup trucks (as long as the bed is empty or sealed), as well as larger vehicles such mini-buses, transit vans and motorhomes (as long as there is nothing attached to the outside).

With regards to Roof Boxes, they must be solid, secure and locked, no loose parts on the outside and you do take them through at your own risk.

Please note that the final decision on the suitability of a vehicle will rest with our Arrivals team on the day of your visit.

We are able to move a booking to another date, dependent on availability. 

We can move your booking to any date we have ticket availability within the same season of the original, and the change can be actioned both before or after the date of your original visit. Please note that bookings that include Ticket Plan protection are not eligible for this facility.

There is £5 fee per paid ticket per move for this service, payable on the gate when you arrive. (Longleat is a cashless site and we will accept card payments only.)

Visiting on peak dates

During busy periods, we require online pre-booking for all guests, including Annual Pass holders, to avoid disappointment.

An Annual Pass reservation is a £1 per person charitable donation. With all money going straight to good causes such as TUSK and Koala Life.

When pre-booking your peak time visit, you will be asked to select your preferred Safari Drive-Through entry time. You can choose from between 10am - 12pm, between 12pm -  2pm or between 2pm - 4pm. You may enter the Safari Drive-Through at any time during your chosen slot and you may visit the Main Square attractions both before and after your Safari adventure (subject to Park opening hours); the choice is entirely yours.

During these peak dates, please do not travel unless you have an Annual Pass reservation.

Off-peak visits

During off-peak periods, Annual Pass holders are not required to pre-book online. Simply arrive with your Annual Pass and enjoy your visit as you choose, including accessing the Safari Drive-Through at any time during the day, without preselecting a specific entry slot.

To find out which dates are peak and off-peak, please check our Annual Pass holder booking calendar.

We will ensure we keep these FAQs and the Annual Pass Zone up to date with the latest prebooking information.
