Knowsley Safari is calling all adventurers to get up close and personal with wild animals, from big cats and rhinos, to meerkats and baboons. Visitors are invited to roam the 500 acre safari space in their car before experiencing the Foot Safari. Encounter giraffes face-to-face at the Giraffe Tower, watch the sea lions splash about, or put on your explorer hat and venture into Wolf Country.
