This unique way of preserving wildlife and endangered species brought many thousands of visitors to the Safari Park. This revenue was, and still is, spent on maintaining a wonderful historic home which, like the animals, can so easily face 'extinction' if not conserved. In the expansive parkland wild animals roam freely, successfully breeding. To date Longleat has an excellent record of establishing breeding programmes.
