Behind the Scenes: Tiger & Friends

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

"Get close to a tiger when you go behind the scenes at our new Tiger Trail! We'll also stop at our elephant enclosure, where you'll see how we care for our elephants. And you'll have chance to offer tasty treats to 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!)

• Okapi, 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 Tigers!

• Currently behind the scenes in the new, state-of-the-art custom-designed keeper areas

• Usually one or two tigers off exhibit in keeper areas

• No keeper or any special "interaction" with the tigers

• Tour ends in Tiger Trail so guests can walk the experience and see the tigers on exhibit

• Some walking involved
