“These performers are fantastic, with full-length concerts from some of the most well-known and beloved acts we’ve seen in the last twenty years. Safari Nights have always been the highlight of our summer, and this year will be even bigger and better than before.” said John Minion, CEO of the park.

“The summer holidays are one of the best times of the year, and families can expect a memorable time at Wild Live Safari Nights. The acts performing are the strongest we’ve ever had and we’re sure that everyone will have a great time.”

Wild Live Safari Nights also offers a unique opportunity to see some of the most endangered and beautiful animals in the world, including Amur leopards, tigers and lions, after the park’s normal closing time, thanks to the extended hours on offer.
