We had an unforgettable sunset safari experience on October 26th, 2024. It was clear that the park takes great care in looking after the animals, maintaining an environment where they can roam freely. Our driver (Mickayla) was exceptional. She was not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She went out of her way to ensure we had the best views and answered all questions with a smile. We would love to visit the park again soon, thank you!
