Knowsley Safari Park ? An Oasis for Animal Lovers
Opened back in the day when the concept of ‘safari park’ was unique, Knowsley Safari Park was one of the first such attractions to be created in Liverpool City. Despite various controversies that took place with regard to the possible issues that may occur due to the large amount of animals especially lions wandering around near the city, the proposal for the Knowsley Safari Park was approved by the then County and District councils.
In the beginning, among the main attractions of the park were monkeys, lions, giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and various antelopes. However after an extension that took place in 1973, more animals were added to the collection including herds of buffalos, camels, tigers and white rhinos.
The lions and tigers are currently displayed only in enclosures in game reserves whilst at the end of the safari drive are elephants in their own paddock. The monkey jungle is ideal for visitors who wish to have close encounters with hyper baboons.
