It say that if you have 4 to 6 people in your vehicle (which we did) you would need to buy $25.00 worth of food to feed the animals. There is also a sign on your way into the safari for you to buy additional food. The day we were there the animals would not touch these pellets. They give you a cup of pellets as part of your admission. This would all be fine if they actaully had the animals out that you are expecting to see, and if the animals were hungry enough to eat the food you pay a ton of money for. You pay a ton for addmision, and then you are charged again for food to feed the animals (which is no surprise). Having workers sitting around shaking their heads did not resolve the problem and walking away and giving up was unprofessional! And have multiple people available to help direct traffic. Have a camel to relieve the others if they need to go on break. ![]() If you are sending 100s of cars to your shows, make sure shows are going on even if you have to throw in a couple extra showings. It can't be the first time a car has broken down. It boggles my mind that there is not a plan of action in place for when these problems occur. I would have hated to actually spend the full price amount for this disaster. We got our tickets through Groupon-thank goodness. The kids were so bored, we had to put movies on until we could get through the stop and start bumper to bumper line. That is, if they actually bothered to even meander over to the car. The animals were so over fed they were actually spitting the carrots out onto the ground-which was littered with uneaten carrots. It was bumper to bumper-two lines all the way through the park. We waited in line forever to get into the safari. Completely quit directing traffic and it was a free for all. The lady directing traffic looked at us and said "no one is listening to me" and left. Of course, the line is still huge as they are continuing to let new cars in. After enduring an hour of looking at a few poor animals in small, unnatural cages we got back in line to join the safari. After directing at least a 100 cars to the show/petting zoo-they shut down the camel ride for an hour break, the horse ride took a break, no shows were going, half the animal cages were empty and the stench from the rest rooms was stomach curdling. They told us to go enjoy the shows until they cleared it out. They didn't tell us until after we paid that a car had broke down in the safari and no one could go through until they got it handled. Figured the wait was to pay and once we got past that it would get better. We waited in a double vehicle line for almost 45 minutes before we reached the pay station. We will go back next year! Everyone likes to feed animals! I advise going early in the day before the animals get to full. ![]() (bring plenty of carrots & apples, you didn't hear that from me, cuz they don't want you to do that) They will give you a cup of pellets, but believe me, the animals are NOT interested in that! Giraffes & zebras are behind a fence, but they come right to you for feeding. On the safari, the animals do come right up to you car, but don't be afraid, there are no lions or gorillas, but llamas, alpacas, bison, long-horned steer & Scottish Highlanders. We watched a demonstration of several animals, like a blue tongued skink, a hedgehog & a very large snake & the kids could go up & touch them. We got a tremendous discount online, check around~ours was a coupon for $29 admission for 6! We brought our own picnic lunch & there is a very nice area to eat there. We went in a van, the kind where the back windows are able to roll down, another plus because your doors must remain shut throughout the "Safari". Grandpa has disabilities that require him to use a wheelchair, so a stay in the car attraction was a plus. We went to The African Safari Wildlife Park with 3 generations.
