Knowsley Safari Park

[Xena]

We went there today and I just wanted to recommend it - it was awesome we had such a great time. Baboons nearly snapped our windscreen wiper though lol. It was worth it though sooo much fun. You've never lived until you've had ostriches trying to eat your wing mirror and camels leaning on your car lmao!

edited to add pics:

picnic in the entrance bit:

Had to keep the windows shut, so you can see a bit of glare reflected from the glass:

Baboons on cars (in second pic can you see my windscreen wiper sticking up?! lol)

rhinos:

having a rest near the gift shop:

chasing chickens!

we spent a while in the amusement park area too - Lydia went on tons of rides - I couldn't get the camera to work though at that point. I had the video camera with me though so that was ok.


mods - you might want to move this to the pics section now since it's got pics in it - I hadn't originally intended to put pics in this post but what the hell they've ended in it anyway lol

I used to live 5 mins from there in St Helens so used to go all the time. Once an Ostrich nearly broke out window cos it butted it that hard!! Twas very scary.
