Prepare for a luxury experience with unrivalled views of Longleat's Safari Park.

Prepare for a luxury experience with unrivalled views of Longleat's Safari Park in Keeper's Cottage. This safari-immersed property is at the heart of Longleat’s Safari Park, on the east side of the Estate. It overlooks the East African Reserve; home to Longleat’s herd of Grant's zebras and Rothschild’s giraffes. It boasts panoramic views out across the vista, within which hundreds of animals slumber, prowl, play and graze.

A house for the Longleat deer keeper stood at this site from at least 1804. The earlier building was almost completely taken down and rebuilt in 1890 by local builder John Vallis of Frome to the designs of Longleat’s Clerk of Works, William Buckenham.

After ‘The Lions of Longleat’ opened as the first safari park outside Africa in 1966, the house was divided into two cottages to accommodate animal keepers.
