Deer Safari
Visitors are given the unique opportunity to observe deer at close quarters with a new deer safari programme that has been launched at Bucklebury Farm Park.
The dawn and dusk safaris will run this autumn (September and October) in addition to the farm’s existing daily tour programme from 10am to 6pm. The special safaris tailored to small groups, will take place at 7am and 6.30pm from Friday to Sunday giving visitors exclusive access to the farm’s herd of Red, Japanese Sika, Axis and Fallow deer.
The autumn safaris will provide a special insight into the life of the herd as the drama of the rutting season unfolds.
Ideal for nature enthusiasts and photographers, you can choose from two options both including a talk about the deer, guided walk, chance to take photographs and breakfast or a barbeque supper. Booking in advance is essential as the groups will be small.
