Maree – United States

An amazing zoo which included both the Gondola and Double Decker Bus

S
Sandy – United States

I loved the safari park. The park is very clean and love the habitats and native plant life. I really enjoyed the tram ride around the “Savannah”. I’m glad I went on a Monday as it wasn’t crowded & I enjoyed listening to all the birds & animals. Very serene. Lots of walking and my only complaint is that things could’ve be marked a little better.
