Chessington's amazing new ride for 2013

Our amazing new safari ride is now open, and we need intrepid explorers like you to come and join us.

Initial investigations have unearthed a new land called “ZUFARI”. The only signs of civilisation are some mysterious African carvings that we believe are warnings.

Journey through the extreme terrain in our off-road trucks and encounter many species including giraffes and white rhino.
