With my sister going into hospital for some heart surgery, we decided to take her out for a day for some nice memories. We decided to travel down to the safari park for a look at some animals, that us, never mind the child, had no idea what they were. She enjoyed seeing the animals she recognised such as elephants, tigers, lions, zebras and things. She made a lot of impressions of them and had a great day out. I was also excited to go down there as this was the first chance I’d really had to go out with my new sigma 70-200mm f2.8.

The big attraction to the safari park is driving round and getting up close to the animals. Some even as close as sticking their heads right inside the car! Many seemed to have a lot of fun standing in the way of the car.

After driving around the ‘course’, you can park up and have a walk around the amusement area. A favourite part of this was the reptile house. A great range of snakes, crocs, lizards and other animals.
