Best time
Arrive around 10am to maximize animal feeding opportunities, especially giraffe feeding. As the day gets hotter and later, animals retreat to shaded areas and are less active, reducing feeding interactions.
Visitor tip
Plan for 45+ minutes for the drive-thru safari alone. Younger children may get restless on longer vehicle rides, so consider the standard drive option rather than the safari bus upgrade if you have small kids who need more interactive feeding experiences.
Visitor tip
Wear comfortable, breathable clothing and take advantage of the large pavilion area for rest and cool-down breaks during hot weather. The walking and driving portions both allow extensive time in the sun.
