Our Story

In 1991 Africa Alive! formerly known as Suffolk Wildlife Park, was acquired by the Goymour family. Over the following years Africa Alive! has evolved into an African themed park continuing its vital work to animal care and welfare, education and conservation.

On Valentine’s Day 14th February 2013, Africa Alive!, along with our sister park Banham Zoo near Diss, Norfolk, became part of the Zoological Society of East Anglia (ZSEA). By becoming a registered charity this has enabled the parks to secure their long term futures, with the primary aims to the advancement of education, zoology, animal welfare, environmental protection and continue with the important work undertaken for wildlife conservation across the world.

The ultimate beneficiaries of all that we do, with your support, are the animals in our care and wildlife conservation.

Africa Alive! is set in 100 acres of stunning Suffolk countryside and also offers the chance to spot a wide range of British wildlife. Bird lovers can also enjoy spotting native nature from our new ‘Wader’s Lake’ boardwalk or seeing some African feathered friends in our Woodland Walk!
