1. Aim to arrive at the park as close to opening time as possible so you can enjoy a full day at the park.
2. We do have a restaurant on site and lots of places to buy snacks and ice creams but you are welcome to bring a picnic if you prefer.
3. Our baboons can damage your car so if you don't want to risk this take our car friendly route, you can still see the baboons but the wipers stay on the car.
4. In a safari park animals do move around a lot. If you think you missed something the first time around the drive go around again. Once you have paid to go through you can go around as many times as you like.
