Probably too short, having been to longleat. In the safari area in particular it's going to be a bit short. But for something like the monkeys that jump up on the car it should be just fine kd

See if you can borrow or rent a long lens. 55mm won't cut it for wildlife, for landscape and architecture it is fine but it is too short for wildlife.
