Grey skies and muddy vibes 🦏☁️

Our rhinos don’t mind a little drizzle - any excuse to roll in the mud! Rainy days are perfect for a good wallow, helping to keep their skin cool and protected. 💚

Worried about spooky weather? Don’t fear! All tickets are covered by our Rainy Day Guarantee - if it rains for over an hour, you’ll get a FREE return visit so the fun can continue another day. 🌦️🎟️

Our red river hog piglets have names! 🐗 🐗

After receiving loads of fantastic suggestions during our GoGo by Night event last month, our keepers had such a tough time choosing that they picked the winners out of a hat! 🎩

✨ Meet Ruby (named by Alison Wheeler) and Zola (named by Poppy)!

Thank you to everyone who took part - and be sure to visit this October half-term to see Ruby and Zola exploring their habitat! 🐷🍂

More adorable moments from our Nile lechwe calf! 💛

He’s thriving in the sunshine and getting more curious by the day.

Nile lechwe are classed as Endangered in the wild, with only a few thousand remaining - so each new arrival plays a vital role in protecting this rare wetland species. 🌿

An update on our Nile lechwe calf! 💛

We’re delighted to share that our little one is a healthy baby boy!

He’s been out and about for the past couple of weeks and is growing more confident every day - exploring his habitat alongside mum.

Be sure to visit Africa Alive this October half-term and see if you can spot him!

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!
