About Savanna Safari at the Safari Park 2013

Embark on a safari through the savannas of Africa as you venture around our large African field habitats to see giraffe, oryx, rhinos, and more. Safari stops will include an opportunity to offer treats to the endangered Somali wild ass and a behind-the-scenes look at the most famous savanna predator’s residence--Lion Camp--where you’ll learn about our pride and see how the kings and queens of the savanna relax when the guests aren’t looking. You’ll also venture behind-the-scenes at our African elephant exhibit to see how our keepers care for these massive mammals.

  • Behind-the-scenes visit to Elephants (no guarantee of seeing elephants "up close" or otherwise)
