Animal Park Summer Special

Fifty years ago Britain’s first safari park opened to the public and this summer at Longleat, Ben Fogle and Kate Humble return to celebrate, commemorate and continue the story of Britain’s wildest country house.

There is a special episode every day this week and today Ben and Kate re-enact the moment 50 lions were unleashed on unsuspecting Brits!

Meanwhile, at the giraffe house, there’s a tense wait as Ella prepares to give birth. Will the keepers need to step in and save her baby? World-famous wildlife photographer Simon King attempts to take a killer shot of Longleat’s Siberian Tiger.
