💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive early to avoid lines that typically form around 2pm; the parking and entry queue move quickly but getting there before midday ensures better animal activity and a more relaxed experience.
- Rent their safari vehicle for $30 more than general admission—animals are noticeably more comfortable getting close and personal with vehicles versus buses, and you can set your own pace through the drive-thru without feeling rushed.
- Bring drool towels or cloth napkins for the feeding experience, as close animal interactions result in significant slobbering; this simple prep makes the experience more comfortable and enjoyable for all passengers.
- Drive your own car through the safari if possible rather than taking the bus—visitors consistently report this provides a more personal, flexible experience and allows you to control the pace while viewing 400+ animals and feeding them directly from your windows.
- Keep fingers away from zebras' mouths during feeding—while they're friendly and eager for kibble, they can be overzealous; this simple safety tip prevents accidental nips during what is otherwise the most exciting and interactive part of the visit.
