About Behind the Scenes: Lion & Friends at the Safari Park 2015

"Come face to face with lions behind the scenes at Lion Camp! You'll also tour around the perimeter of our large [Asia] field habitats and visit a second behind-the-scenes area for a feeding opportunity with one of our hoofed animals."

  • Animal Presentation at Wildlife Workshop (formerly known as Education Compound)
  • At least two animals; one touchable, some feedable
  • Feeding Opportunity (for hoof stock species--not for cats!)
  • Rhino at Cable Yard, most often, but no guarantees!
  • Can also be Elephants, Somali Wild Ass, Zebras, Przewalski’s Wild Horses
  • A "look" at the field enclosures (mainly Asia loop; about 10 minutes)
  • We may go to Africa loop if more feeding opportunities are needed, but we try to mainly do Asia loop since this is the only way to see Asia
  • We want to avoid duplicating Africa Tram route, which is already included with Admission, and takes longer to drive
  • BTS with Lions!
  • Currently behind the scenes at the new lion "cub camp" with cubs Ken and Dixie, the brother and sister born at the Safari Park in December 2013
  • Cubs born on June 22, 2014 are not on view at the Park
  • May see other lion(s)
  • No keeper or any special "interaction" with the lions
  • Some walking involved
