I live a couple of miles away from the safari park... it is a good place... it's also where Mark Shea started off in this hobby. Good advantage for me is that the rep vet that is consultant at the park is also close by, so know I have a good vet handy if required.
Not too far from the safari park is a frog place called dartfrog.uk... great to go there and have a looksee also... plus take your card or purse, cos I always come away with something!
I'm not over keen on places where they keep the animals 'cooped up' in relatively small enclosures which is another reason it's a bonus living by the safari park.
