African Safari Tour
While journeying through our natural terrain, your knowledgeable guide will weave captivating tales about our extensive array of over 900 animals, along with anecdotes of their exotic counterparts found in the African wilderness. With a stroke of luck, you may find yourself face-to-face with a towering, inquisitive giraffe! The adventure continues on foot as you explore our lower grounds, encountering cheetahs, servals, lemurs, and monkeys, and exploring our aviaries housing a diverse international bird collection. Safari Tours last 3 hours, encompassing both the drive and the walking exploration.
