Every April, I head out to Longleat Safari Park<\/a> with my friend and her family for their little boy’s birthday. This year he was 7 and he was still as excited to see the animals as he was the first time we went!\u00a0 He has always liked animals from when he was very young and he always leaves the park with a new cuddly toy of his favourite animals of the day – this year it was the red panda and cheetah.<\/p>\n

We were so lucky with the weather – the week before Storm Katie had gone through and it looked as though the weekend we were due to meet would be wet too, but thankfully it turned for the better and we had a glorious Spring day.<\/p>\n

I know a lot of people don\u2019t like zoos \/ safari parks because animals are caged etc. – in some situations I agree but in others I don\u2019t.\u00a0 They are a great way for children and also adults to see and more importantly, learn about the animals on our planet and hopefully lead them to want to help and support our wild animals.<\/p>\n
