Free entry to a safari park for up to 5 people, and you get to do it in someone else's car! The deal is that you sign up (for free) to test-drive the new Hyundai i40 at a Safari Park. You get to the park yourself, they give you the car and free entry to the park, you drive around the park in the test drive car and visit it for free. Sounds like a great deal to me - if my kids weren't in Poland with my Mother in Law for the summer we'd be going :-). There are limited dates available, so sign up and good luck!


Details of the parks you can choose from:

Welcome to Woburn
17th - 23rd August

East African mountain bongos, Californian sea lions and Asian elephants are just a few of the exotic animals to be seen at one of Europe's largest and most diverse primate reserves - Woburn in Bedfordshire.

Get to know Knowsley
17th - 23rd August

As well as lions, tigers, hunting dogs, bison, wildebeest, camels and white rhinos, Knowsley also has a farm, a woodland walk, amusement rides and more - so it really is a full day out for all the family.

Knowsley Safari Park
Prescot
Merseyside

Discover the wild West Midlands
27th August
& 30th August - 4th September

From a Bengal tiger reserve to an African lion reserve - there are no end of rare sights to be enjoyed at the West Midland Safari and Leisure Park. And if that isn't enough to keep the kids entertained, perhaps they can visit the fair which has 26 rides and attractions to enjoy.

West Midlands Safari Park
Spring Grove
Bewdley
Worcestershire

Retreat to Longleat
30th August - 4th September

Famous for its lions, Longleat was actually the first ever safari park outside Africa. Zebras, rhinos, wolves, an elephant (Anne) and now even a warthog are some of the other treats in store. Afterwards, why not try to get to the middle of the giant hedge maze, which can take from 20 to 90 minutes!

Longleat Safari & Adventure Park
Longleat
Warminster
Wiltshire
BA12 7NW


Book into Blair Drummond
3 - 4th & 10th - 11th September

To experience all creatures large and small (from elephants, bears and bison to marmosets, lemurs and meerkats) Blair Drummond in Scotland is the perfect choice. And don't miss the 'bird of prey centre' where you can see peregrine falcons, buzzards, sea eagles and more.

Drivers must be at least 25 and have a full UK driving licence and the driver must bring their driving licence to the park.

    Just got back from a day at Knowsley Safari Park ..... WOW , free entrance tickets for the 4 of us worth £50 + together with an Official Knowsley Park Brochure ( Usually £5 ) , FREE face painting for the kids which was awesome ! and entry into a competition. We got to drive the new car round the park and that was nice , top spec full leather / iphone fitted with app to talk you round the park telling you which animals are coming up next and a little bit about them ... it was like having your own tour guide inside the car !
    Then once we completed our Safari we returned the car and was asked to complete a very informal questionnaire comprising of just 5 questions ! Would you recommend ... out of 10 score , Were you suprised by your experience ? etc , very basic non-intrusive questions .... no sell whatsoever, they weren't there for that !
    Once this was done we were all set to come home until they said ... ooh , have you got your wristbands for the amusement rides yet ? .... Couldn't believe it 4 free all day wristbands for all the rides (worth £40 for the 4 of us) .... I have to say we were amazed !!
    Pizza Hut for tea on the way home using the Kids eat free when adults buy the £5 meal deal ... so 4 unlimited salads , 4 individual pizzas (2 were kids ones) , 2 unlimited pepsi's for the kids and 1 for us (we weren't thirsty so just shared a glass ! ....
    Total price paid for the day £12.15 ..... plus about £8 pecky I guess ... what a day for a family of 4 for £20 !!!

    Q - Can I drive through the monkey/baboon enclosure ?

    A - No, as the i40 are brand new and would run the risk of damage. However, there is a monkey 'safe' route which bypasses the area - Signage will be on site to direct you.

    How sh1t. Who on earth designs such a rubbish web site which says congratulations yet it has not received your info - I bet their purchasing system is a bit better!!!

    I apologise for the delay in responding to you but we have been investigating the circumstances detailed in your email.  Unfortunately, I have searched our database for your name (in fact all names) and you are not showing as registered to attend the Safari Drive.  We have discovered, in some instances, that the user's security and browser settings on their computer does not allow the actual registration to get through to the registration site.  (The Congratulations is a 'pop up'  happens automatically when someone completes the booking form).     Therefore, as you are not registered a Confirmation Mail is not sent.  Confirmation Mails are sent automatically when the registration reaches the registration site.

    I regret to say that all the spaces at Knowsley and Woburn are fully booked so I am unable to register you for either location.  Currently there are spaces showing at West Midlands and Blair Drummond, (not for Sunday)  but the distance may too far for you to travel.  In addition, because it is a live site, bookings are constant and I cannot guarantee that spaces will still be available if you try to register.

    I am sorry that you will not be able to participate on this occasion.

    Awesome, thanks for letting us know. It's a shame I wasn't able to take my kids, but it's so great to hear it worked out for you. One of the best things about hotukdeals (apart from snagging deals for myself!) is hearing how the things I post get hot for other people :-). Really appreciate your taking the time to post your experiences, thanks!

    I heard of the deal through MSE which I'm very grateful for as I missed it on here so big thanks to 'luciamarie' (I'm pretty sure it will have been posted on other forums and social network sites so does it really matter).
    I posted our experience of the day on MSE but I'll put it on here in case anyone who's booked in over the next few days is interested:
    We went Friday and had a great day. Got to Knowsley at 10.30am (got a free guide book and cd worth £5), went to the Hyundai kind of office (you couldn't miss it), signed 1 or 2 forms and let them photocopy my driver's licence. They gave us wristbands for the rides for all of the family (I think these were worth £10 each). Meanwhile the kids were downstairs with my other half where they could have their face painted and could enter a colouring competition. We were given a drivetime of 11.45am so we walked around the elephants, meerkats and giraffes (we were very lucky to get to feed a giraffe whilst we were there by chance) whilst we waited. It was great actually because at this time the walk through part of the park was empty because everyone must've been driving through the safari park at that time. We went back to the Hyundai office with our kid's booster seats and were given a top of the range i40 and away we went. We didn't go through the monkey enclosure as we'd been asked not to (to be honest we were very grateful of all the freebies so feel it would've been quite disrespectful to then take one of their brand new cars through there), we got a great view anyway as they sit right next to the fence and we could see them pretty much destroying everyone else's cars (wipers, mirrors, the plastic parts where the roof rack goes all pulled off/bent). I panicked a bit when a camel tried to stick it's head through my open window (my own fault really but didn't expect him to get so close)! It took us just over an hour and a half to get through, returned the car and filled in a very short questionnaire and then went off to enjoy the rest of the day. We didn't leave 'til gone 6pm and spent less than £10 all day (ice creams), we took our own lunch.

    Really grateful to the OP for a great deal :-D

    Quality Freebie, possibly my best yet, and I've had some good 'uns!!

    Got given about 7 wristbands & two of our kids were under one so gave 4 bands away, so even more people benefited from this freebie!!

    Could have sold them and had a rite freebie then
