Before you hit the safari, here are a few things to know:
- Your safety (and the animals’) comes first—so give this page a quick read to make sure you and your vehicle are ready for the adventure.
- Rain or shine, the safari is open! Just note: our giraffes prefer the good life—they stay out of sight when it’s rainy or below 60°F.
- Last call for the wild! The final vehicle is admitted one hour before park closing.
