    Very cool animals. A bit expensive but for me it was worth it to see bongos, gemsboks, and capybaras. Very unique animals I have never seen before. Wish they advised you about the food. They should tell you one bag should be good. Anyways definitely would recommend it. Plus love the donkeys.

    I have been here twice with family and friends and enjoyed it both the times. We can feed the animals which being on the safari tour at the comfort of our car. My kid loves hanging out the moon roof to watch and feed animals as we travel at very low speed in this area. There is a map providedarking the animal encounter territories do we know what animals to look forward too. For us girrafees, zebras and cheetahs were hightlites of the safari. There is a newly opened cafe with huge space and variety of food options. Also a ney opened playground towards the end of the safari for kuddoes to let their sillies out. There is a bird petting farm and also chimps area. Entry is charged per person on the car and it is a bit pricey but totally worth it as we get to experience this unique safari. The food items in cafe are fairly priced as well. There are ice cream and restroom spots available which are well maintained and there is a photo op area with car parking available right next to out. It's a great way to spend a summer day from the comfort of our own car.

    This place was so cute. We did the drive thru and bought food to feed the animals. They do get so close to the car and are also so aware of their surroundings so they do move out of the way. We got a chance to feed the giraffes up close and personal. They were so gentle and love the attention! We also ate at the restaurant within the place and food was great! Take your kids let them see some animals and enjoy your time. I prefer visiting places like this compared to a zoo.

    We visited on 4th of July. I dint think it would be busy but it was. Awesome experience. Wr have 5 total in our group. I bought feed bags for 5 people. Honestly 2 would have been enough lol. There were some people NOT following the rules and scaru g the animals away which prevented us from feeding more animals but I did get to feed the ostriches which was my highlight 😊 definitely will be back!

    This is a fun experience with a wide variety of animals from zebras to giraffes to goats and many more. It is definitely something the kids enjoy. Please be mindful of the very high entry cost verses return on what you experience. I would not buy more than 1 or 2 bags of food for the animals. It was very busy and packed when we went and due to high volume of traffic.It took over three hours. There are also several small ranger vehicles running around with staff members. Try not to hit one.
