The Bedford Estates, London
At the heart of Woburn Safari Park are the twin roles of education and conservation.
A visit to the Park provides further and higher education groups with the chance to get up close to many endangered species that live in the wide-open parkland reserves, and find out more about the science behind the species they see.
Why visit Woburn on an education trip?
- Safari adventures by coach or bus as you travel through the Road Safari, coming face-to-face with a host of majestic animals
- Discover more in the Foot Safari and get up close to the animals in their walk-through enclosures
- Indoor and outdoor classrooms for fantastic learning experiences
