On Safari at the African Lion Safari

We recently took a long road trip to visit some family. We decided to break up the 7+ hour drive with a few pit stops along the way. One of the places we stopped at was the African Lion Safari.

We decided to take the tour bus because we had a small crack in our windshield, which would bar us from using our vehicle. But we have also heard of the baboons taking pieces off the vehicle — which we weren’t interested in. It was actually a very informative experience. The bus driver was also the guide and had lots of interesting facts to share about the animals as we drove through their various reserves.

It was such a neat experience to see the lions, baboons, giraffes and rhinos just mulling around their large exhibits. They moved around freely and some walked right up to the bus. We certainly got a good close look at one giraffe that decided to come in for a closer look.

The park is big and there were other sections that we never made it to. By late afternoon, the girls were exhausted and we had lots more driving to do. We did enjoy the wonderful splash pad and Alexie absolutely loved the waterslides. We missed the parrots and some of the other exhibits. But, we still had a day full of fun and excitement! And Zoé, our little animal lover, was in heaven the whole time!
