Safari West gives you the experience of a safari, without the long flight to Africa. Hop onboard a rugged 4X4, and you'll be whisked along bumpy tracks, with wild animals running freely around the site. Without cages, you can see the animals run and play in their natural environment, and each habitat has been made to resemble their natural homes. Kids will especially love the friendly animals such as giraffes, which often walk right up to your safari vehicle, allowing you to feed them treats and get some great photos.
