Excellent zoo and park. The zoo is almost to big to do in a day. The Safari park was great but the excursions into the Safari park were quite excessive
We started with the double decker bus tour at the zoo which helped with orientation. Good to see so many animals that we normally dont see. It is best to arrive at the zoo or safari at 9 AM because the animals are more active. We toured the zoo Jan. 4, and the safari Jan. 11. Be prepared for lots of walking, especially more so at the Safari. The maps are characterized so are not too easy to follow but volunteers wearing red shirts are very helpful for directions and info about the animals. Make sure to take the tram at the Safari as the driver-guides are very knowledgeable and give you an excellent explanation of the animals and characteristics. By the time we had walked 3.5 hours and taken the tram. We were ready to exit the place which is difficult to find as the main exit lane is under repair so the signage is not only difficult but incorrect. Again, we relied on the great volunteers. Seniors might investigate the rental of a motorized scooter.
The zoo was truly amazing, unforgettable experience
A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE
This was our second visit to each park previously 20 years ago at the zoo. Perhaps 10 years ago at Safari Park. Zoo was fine. Was disappointed in Safari...park expansion has resulted in much more walking to see animals. Not a friendly place for those with mobility issues. Earlier visit on Africa Tram we saw elephants, lions, etc. Seems like the tram tour this time was a visit of limited kinds of animal. Many of the same animals.
