Longleat Lions (1966)

 Longleat Safari and Adventure Park - Wikipedia

Opened today in 1966.

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park opened in 1966, making it the world's first drive-through safari park outside Africa. The park was established on the grounds of Longleat House, which 

became the first privately-owned stately home to open to the public in 1949.
