Being a senior who has difficulty walking long distances, I was thrilled to be able to rent a electric chair and get myself around to see everything I wanted, (about 2 hours). It as so beautiful with the foliage that seeing the animals was actually a side benefit. It was my first time and regardless of many of the exhibits not available, I was filled with joy and appreciation for the beauty and comfort in doing the various safaris. Because I had the electric chair, I was o.k. with the fact that the Africa Tram was not in service. I was alone and enjoyed a delicious healthy salad for lunch and easily got parking and left the premises without any trouble.

Lots of busses of schoolkids so we were really glad to bypass that. First bathroom is right at the front entrance. So many volunteers in red shirts to guide you and answer questions. Very nice shade trees for your sun protection along the paths. Be sure to wear a hat!

This place was awesome. We got there at about 9:20 AM and there was like no one there. It was as if we had the whole place to our self which was awesome. By around noon it started getting busy. Get there when it opens & you’ll have the place to yourself for a few hours
