The Wild Animal Safari
So, let’s get a move on with my favorite stop of the visit, The Wild Animal Safari.
What fun! It’s like going to Africa.
Tickets Purchased Here – Gift Shop and Bathrooms in the building next door.
And don’t forget to buy animal food when purchasing the tickets.
$6.75 with souvenir cup
Cost is $30/per adult, and vehicles are available to rent if you don’t want to use your own. Animals do get near the cars so if you own something posh consider the rental. And roads are quite bumpy, drive extremely slow, and watch every direction.
One of the rentals.
The Entrance..
The Animals stay in the habitat due to the rollers on the ground, however they are ready to greet as soon as you enter.
The Giraffe
As soon as the car windows are opened the animals stick their heads in.
Too funny – Some animals have teeth, and when purchasing tickets customers are warned to throw food on the ground to avoid bites.
This was pretty scary when I saw this guy coming straight toward me..
The Park has some lovely habitats for the animals. Nice to see.
Looks like this little fella had a bit of a problem.
Another gentle creature visits. What a sweetie!
Another beautiful deer- A Blackbuck
A Bison also made a visit. While daunting initially, he was very gentle, and friendly. What a large tongue, and how he enjoyed the animal food.
