Location
Accessibility
Handicap accessible; guests stand on moving flatbed truck and hold on for stability
Visitor tip
Arrive early for the safari tour to secure a better spot during giraffe feeding, as the flatbed truck experience becomes cramped with large groups and makes it difficult to feed giraffes, take photos, and move around comfortably
Best time
Visit during cooler times of day (early morning or late afternoon) as animals are significantly less active and remain in shade during extreme heat, reducing wildlife viewing opportunities
