🦏 Happy International Rhino Day! 🦏

Did you know Southern white rhinos aren’t actually white? Their name comes from “wyd” meaning wide - referring to those big, square lips! 💋

Rhinos are also grassland superheroes, helping to shape their habitats. They keep the grass short, spread nutrients with their dung and even make paths that other animals use. 🌱💚

Come say hi to the horned heavyweights at Africa Alive!

We’re thrilled to announce the birth of a Somali wild ass foal here at Africa Alive! 💛

Born to proud mum Calula after a year-long pregnancy, this little one is the 12th foal to be welcomed at the zoo. ✨

With only a few hundred Somali wild asses remaining in the wild, every birth is a huge step for the European breeding programme - and we’re proud to play our part in protecting this critically endangered species. 🐾

Plan your visit and be among the first to meet this adorable new arrival this autumn! 🌿

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!
