While Christmas might seem like it’s a long time away, there’s nothing like being organised and booking activities ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

West Midland Safari Park (WMSP) is running Christmas packages in its safari lodges this festive season and they’re available to book now.

There’s also the option to stay in the lodges to celebrate the New Year and these packages can also be booked now.

You can also choose to meet Santa in his grotto on December 24, although this is optional.

You’ll tuck into a Christmas Eve dinner inside the lodge and on Christmas Day you can enjoy a six-course Christmas lunch in Spring Grove House. Keep your eyes peeled as Santa will make an appearance.
