A Truly Wild Encounter

Stay safe when you explore and follow our rules of entry. Our animals behave as close to the wild as possible and can be unpredictable so you should stay inside your car at all times. If you breakdown while on the safari drive it is important that all passengers stay within the car, you should sound your horn and wait for a patrol vehicle to come to your assistance.

Guests are strictly prohibited from feeding the animals – that’s our job! If you are seen feeding the animals from your vehicle you will be asked to leave the safari park.
