Our world is full of incredible animals, and this summer could be the perfect chance to see some of them up close, without having to leave the country.
That’s right, Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire is giving one lucky winner and their three guests the chance to experience a memorable VIP Elephant Encounter.
All readers have to do to be in the running for this incredible prize is enter the park’s competition on its website*.
The winning party will be whisked away by a dedicated VIP tour guide, who will bring them thrillingly close to the Woburn elephants – and they will be able to watch these incredible creatures grazing peacefully in their own private grassland reserve.
They will also have a fascinating chat with their dedicated keepers and meet some of the herd in person before being given a tour of the elephant house.
This fantastic price also includes an overnight stay for four at The Woburn, a charming 18th century hotel, plus breakfast.
But entrants should hurry, as the application deadline is Sunday, August 18, 2024*.
Incredible species, all in one place
Those who visit Woburn Safari Park can enjoy an unforgettable journey through Road Safari, where the animal sanctuaries take them just a window’s width away from “safari stars” such as lions, tigers, monkeys, rhinos, bears and giraffes.
Animal lovers also get to explore the Foot Safari, home to some of the park’s newest faces, including three Humboldt penguin chicks.
Foot Safari residents are all included in a daily program of engaging keeper talks and demonstrations. From charismatic sea lions to the mini mammals of Desert Springs, visitors can learn all about meerkats, monkeys, otters and red pandas.
There’s plenty for little adventurers to enjoy too, including indoor and outdoor play areas, as well as a miniature train – the Great Woburn Railway – all included in the ticket price.
A summer of animal fun
Throughout the park this summer, families can spot familiar faces from popular children’s TV shows coming to say hello.
They can even visit selected dates to meet characters from Paw Patrol and CoComelon, as well as Hey Duggee, Peppa Pig and Bluey – who will be making regular appearances.
But that’s not all. From Saturday 27 July to Sunday 28 July, park rangers will hold a Tiger Charity Weekend to raise money to help protect Amur Tigers. This will mean visitors can purchase a mini VIP experience to meet the tigers Dimitri and Vera, for just £30 per person.
And for those looking for the ultimate summer activity, Safari Discovery Day on Wednesday 7 August will be packed with exciting up-close encounters. The experience takes visitors behind the scenes to meet the magnificent residents, big and small, often face-to-face, and lunch and refreshments will also be provided.
For families looking to save money on their visit to the park this season, there is a ‘buy one get one free’ offer on tickets per car to take advantage of – saving a group of four up to £100. Tickets are valid for up to five people traveling in one vehicle, at a heavily discounted price of £109.99 over two visits**.
