At this exclusive wildlife preserve you will have the opportunity to get up close to the kinds of animals most folks only see on National Geographic programs. You’ll start the 3-hour adventure with a walking tour that brings you face to face with exotic birds, monkeys, lemurs, giant porcupines, cheetahs and even some blue duikers – tiny dog-sized, impala-like creatures!
Then, just like a real African safari, you’ll board double deck safari trucks for a ride through the rugged 400-acre preserve to see herds of impala, African cattle, buffalo, two kinds of giraffes, a pair of rhinos, two kinds of zebras, mischievous ostriches, and some pretty intense Cape buffalo. The tour guides are entertaining and knowledgeable, making the tour fun and educational for the whole family.
