Longleat Safari Park

Yesterday we went to Longleat Safari Park.  It was a great adventure because we saw a lot of animals and it was very funny.  Longleat is not like a zoo, Longleat is a safari park.  First we went on a boat and fed the sea lions with fish.  It was a lot of fun because sometimes the sea lions jumped out of the water to catch the fish.  It is the only place in the world where you can see a sea lion sitting on the back on a hippo!

Then we went to the Jungle Kingdom where I had a snake on my neck.  As we bought some bird food the birds were landing on us and ate the food.  After we had lunch we did the safari tour that meant we drove through the animals with the car.  First we saw a lot of zebras, giraffes and camels. The funniest thing was the "Monkey Drive Through" where monkeys climbed on our car and sat on the wing mirror.  We took a lot of funny pictures.  We drove through the tigers, lions and wolves, but all of them were only lying around and the only thing that moved was the lion cubs.  After the safari we had enough time to make another boat trip and to do the famous hedge maze. We needed approximately 1 hour to finish the maze.

That was our great Longleat trip
