In Britain's new Big Game Reserve there are no bars between the public and the animals.
In the two years since it opened, the lion reserve at Longleat has been such a success - not only commercially - that people are asking whether this might not be the answer to the problem of presenting animals to the public.

Fifty lions in the English country-side may seem incongruous, but can be delightful. What are the problems and the dangers?
Anthony Smith invites you to join him on safari at Longleat in Wiltshire with The Marquess of Bath, Jimmy Chipperfield, His daughter Mary, His son Richard and Mike Lockyer.
