We spent a great day at West Midland Safari Park, getting close to the many deer/antelope species, wild cats, wild cattle and open plain species. There are also excellent reptile, amphibian and small mammal enclosures. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the animals, and this place has the added attraction of a fairground to make it a full day.
Of course it's nothing like getting out to Kenya, but I can't see that happening for us for a long while! I felt obliged to stick the camera out of the window whilst driving around ....
