Yesterday we took 10 of our members out on a trip to Knowsley Safari Park as part of our Soul Refreshing Project funded through Living Well Sefton.
It was an absolutely lovely day and we were extremely lucky to see some incredible animals on the 5 mile safari drive. We wisely opted out of driving through the Baboon enclosure but got a good view from the main safari and watched them play together as well as with windscreen wipers and jump all over cars and their wing mirrors – we were glad to have avoided these cheeky monkeys!
We had Rhinos, Lions, Ostrich and Camels in our path along the way and we felt like we had the chance to get up really close to these beautiful animals.
We stopped for lunch on picnic benches inside the main Zoo and went on to watch a Sea Lion show, see Meerkats and Giraffe before watching the final show of the day in the Birds of Prey house.
We headed back to the minibus and took one last drive through the Safari – another wonderful experience and arrived back at the Community Centre at 5pm.
We feel so grateful to have been able to provide such a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to continue this project next month.
