Knepp Wildland Safaris

About

Knepp Wildland is a groundbreaking low‑land rewilding project nestled on 3,500 acres of former farm land near Horsham in West Sussex. Since 2000 it has transformed the estate into a dynamic wildlife sanctuary, re‑introducing species such as long‑horn cattle, Exmoor ponies, Tamworth pigs, and beavers, while also supporting rare birds like the white stork and nightingale. Visitors can enjoy guided camel‑built safaris, walking tours, and camping experiences within the historic grounds of Knepp Castle, making it a must‑visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking an authentic conservation adventure. The estate’s hands‑off, natural‑grazing strategy has produced one of the richest assemblages of British wildlife in a relatively short time, attracting photography, research and holiday‑makers alike. With 16 miles of public footpaths and multiple viewing platforms, Knepp offers a genuine “back‑to‑nature” experience, steeped in both ecological science and rural heritage. Whether you come for a day excursion, an overnight camping stay, or a weekend holiday, Knepp Wildland delivers a tranquil, wildlife‑rich setting that encourages visitors to witness the processes of regeneration in action.
