WILTSHIRE’S

VISITORS to Longleat can discover the safari park’s newest inhabitants this Spring, with the new Koala Creek area opening to the public on March 29.

Home to a small group of southern koalas from Cleland Wildlife Park in Adelaide, they’ll join over 500 animals in the 9,000-acre estate — including two hairy-nosed wombats.

Longleat will act as a European hub for the new International Koala Centre of Excellence, based in Cleland, which works towards koala conservation.
