Essential Companions -

From Monday 1st January 2024,  Knowsley Safari is changing its admission policy regarding free access for carers.  

We are proud to partner with Nimbus Disability, operators of the Access Card scheme, who will now process all ‘essential companion’ (previously ‘Carer’) eligibility.  

We have always been proud to offer free carer tickets for guests who require additional assistance when visiting our park and now with this new process, it means you will no longer need to bring confidential and sensitive documents with you on the day. You will now need to apply online for an Access Card through Nimbus Disability, at least 7 days before visiting.   

All applications must be completed online, at least 7 days before your visit. We are unable to accept any same-day applications.

Please note

You enter the park at your own risk, we accept no responsibility for any loss or damage caused to your vehicle by our animals.

Do not attempt to feed the animals they are on specific diets and feeding the animals may be harmful. Visitors breaking this rule will be asked to leave the park and no refund will be given.

Our animals are wild and have access to shelter and we cannot guarantee which animals will be visible at the time and location you are on the Safari Drive or Foot Safari during your visit. You can go round as many times as your like before last entry time.

Please wear your seatbelt, do not sit children on knees and stay within the speed limit.

Please be aware that all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Cars with soft tops or vinyl sunshine roofs are not permitted to drive through the Lion or Baboon enclosures. Convertibles must keep the roof closed for the entire safari drive, open top vehicles not permitted. Also, vehicles with PVC skylights will have to take the car friendly route.

Vehicles with cracked windscreens are not permitted in the baboon and lion enclosure.

We regret that dogs and pets are not permitted except for assistance dogs where restrictions to certain areas apply. Dogs are not allowed on the Safari Drive under any circumstances.
