History
Suffolk Wildlife Park was acquired by Banham Zoo in 1991 with the idea of creating an animal park hosting some animals bred in their zoo, without having to transfer them long distances.[2] The theme of `animals from the African continent' was decided upon when the park was created. On Tuesday 21 March 2006, the Park officially rebranded as Africa Alive! Africa Alive! along with Banham Zoo became a charity in 2013 under the Zoological Society of East Anglia. In February 2022, a part of the lion enclosure's fence was smashed by a fallen tree during Storm Eunice. The ZSEA launched a fundraiser to meet the costs of the damage, which had reached over £63,000.[3]
