been to Woburn a couple of times.
Presume it's similar as they also have a monkey drive through.
Went through it both times with no issues. The first time the monkeys jumped on the bonnet, the second they were occupied by other cars.
As mentioned above, it's part of the fun, the kids will love it.
Go for it, you only live once!
Strangely, the monkeys at Woburn are perfectly civilised. They may go and sit on a car but I've never actually seen them do any damage. Presume it's similar as they also have a monkey drive through.

Conversely, the monkeys at Longleat are like a bunch of horse traders sweeping through a town. They'll take anything that's not bolted down.
If you do end up in the enclosure just make sure you leave a very big gap between you and the cars infront so they can never hold you back and you can keep moving. It seems to be when a car stops or gets stopped that they move in and strip it.
This thread has brought back some very old memories of my uncle's nearly new Cav SRi getting it's washer jets removed. And on a school trip many years ago to West Midlands safari park the bus broke down slap bang in the middle of the lion enclosure, the ranger guy who turned with (what I think was?) a tranquilizer gun in his Land Rover looked like David Seaman and my mate had a bking for shouting DAVE out of the window of the bus at him continuously.

They currently have a animatronic predators display (included with entrance ticket)https://www.longleat.co.uk/whats-on/predators
Feeding the Giraffes is always a good shout and the bird of prey display

WTF! It is a Longleat car (hence Safari numberplate), not a customer car...
we went through behind a VW camper with 3 surfboards and a box on the roof - not much left by the time they came out!
So pick a more interesting car to follow
