Father Christmas has made a special visit to the animals at Longleat in Wiltshire

Turner Claus – also known as senior keeper Ian Turner – visited tiger territory, where the four cubs born in May 2024 are now enjoying their second Christmas, the mischievous monkeys, the colourful lorikeets and the endangered red pandas to discover who was on the nice list. 

The Safari Park at Longleat was the first drive-through to open outside of Africa in 1966 and the park is gearing up to mark the 60th anniversary in 2026 with a host of celebratory events planned. 

Tickets for the year are now on sale.
