WEST Midlands Safari Park offers more than 150-acre safari trail with an animal extravaganza.

Situated on a landscaped park, in Bewdley, the park boasts a theme park and animatronic dinosaurs, a discovery trail with penguins, sea lions, lorikeets and even a Twilight Cave, with Rodrigues fruit and Seba’s short-tailed bats.

There's also a Seaquarium with piranhas, clown fish and brightly coloured reef fish from around the world.

On entering the safari, southern white rhino and ankole cattle graze on the African Plains.

Following on from this, rhinos can be spotted in the Wild Asia site.

Beautiful lions enjoy spending their day chilling out with the rest of their tribe.

Our party particularly enjoyed feeding the animals, such as deer, using the special food mix – which is a reasonable buy at £3.50.

You can also buy small pots of fish to feed the hungry penguins.

Close to the theme park – hippos can be seeing splashing around in the lake and these amazing beasts can be seen from a well-placed viewing platform.

The Adventure Theme Park offers a variety of rides, which can be paid for individually with coupons or a day pass can be purchased.

These passes take into account size – as smaller visitors would be unable to try out some of the larger rides.

We enjoyed a bite to eat in the Burger Co restaurant, which had a good selection of food at a reasonable price.

One of the highlights of the day was meeting the adorable and highly-spirited lemurs.

The site is thought to be the largest walk-through lemur wood in the UK, with three living in its woods.

We also strolled through the goat walk, where we fed what was left of our special animal food to some of the hungry fellows.

Our group of four adults visited the park on a bank holiday in spring.

Tickets for the safari park cost up to £24 per adult and combined tickets for both safari park and theme park cost up to £38.
