Woburn Safari Park — Your Private Car Is the Safari Vehicle
From your London hotel door to Woburn Safari Park — where your luxury car becomes the safari vehicle. On the Road Safari you drive among lions, tigers, bears and rhinos from inside your own air-conditioned Mercedes, with your own driver at the wheel: complete privacy, no shared vehicle, no open truck. Afterwards, the Foot Safari on foot, and Woburn Abbey if you wish. One fixed price for the whole car, return.
What makes this trip different
- Your private Mercedes is the safari vehicle — no shared vehicle offers this

- You choose the departure time between 8:00am and 12:00 noon
- Air-conditioned comfort while lions walk past the windows

How the day runs
Departure from your hotel
Your driver arrives at your London hotel entrance at the time you chose, between 8:00am and 12:00 noon. The drive to Woburn takes around an hour and a quarter.
The Road Safari — in your own car
The heart of the day: your Mercedes joins the safari route and drives slowly through the enclosures — lions, tigers, bears, rhinos and wolves metres from the glass. Your driver handles the route; you handle the camera.
The Foot Safari
The walking half of the park: penguins, lemurs, giraffes and the keeper talks and feeding times posted for the day. Lunch at the café inside.
Woburn Abbey and its deer park optional
A short drive away, the stately home of the Dukes of Bedford sits in a park of wandering deer — an elegant end to an animal-filled day.
Back to your hotel
Your driver returns you to the same address you started from, at the time you decide.

Know before you go
- Buy park tickets online before you go. Online tickets are cheaper than the gate price — book them on the park’s official website for your chosen date.
- The monkey section is optional. One enclosure on the Road Safari is home to monkeys that climb on cars; a bypass route exists and your driver will take it unless you ask otherwise.
- The Road Safari can be driven more than once. Entry allows repeat circuits on the same day — if the lions were sleeping the first time, go round again.
- Mornings are best for animal activity. The animals are most active in the cooler hours — an earlier departure rewards you at the enclosures.
