Overview
It’s not just a 250 acre zoo – it’s an African safari where you can observe wildlife herds roaming up close and personal on a 8 km trail from your own vehicle or the Safari bus. Walk the shorter trail in the center of the Safari to learn about the safaris’ conservation programs, displays and exhibitions.
