It’s not just South Africa who can lay claim to having ‘the big five!’ In Sussex we too have an extraordinary array of wildlife from wild horses to white storks!
In fact, there are many opportunities to go on your very own Sussex Safari and spot all manner of wonderful animal species. You might choose to go on a white stork safari or visit the wild horses at Knepp Estate (where endangered species such as nightingales, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies have found sanctuary), take a meander through the South Downs National Park, and spot adders, great crested newts and sand lizards, or enjoy a guided boat safari through the tall reeds of Arundel Wetland Centre, in search of little grebes, kestrels and kingfisher chicks learning to fly.
If the coastline appeals, head to Selsey for a marine eco safari with Mulberry Marine Adventures or kick back on a sunset cruise and learn about our Sussex dolphins and marine mammals with the Sussex Dolphin Project. Alternatively, try out a nocturnal bat walk or a wildlife course and deepen your nature connection with the Sussex Wildlife Trust or indulge in a sensory journey of birdsong and nature at one of our RSPB sites where you might spot a peregrine falcon. Fancy a glass of Sussex sparkling with your nature spotting? Head to Wiston Estate and try out one of their landscape and nature tours, discover hidden habitats and maybe glimpse a deer…
