![]() We had bought our parking tickets ahead of time and the prepaid line took longer than the normal line. We got to the park at 10:30AM when it opened, and approached the most idiotic parking system ever designed. I remembered going to the safari years ago in our car and imagined the same sort of experience, but alas it was much different. We went to visit the safari with my parents, wife and our 2 and 3 year old kids. Is there any excuse for not planning it well? Is that your way to keep people away from other rides? Why do you feel so much of tickets if you can’t handle it? What is your plan to compensate the people like me? You guys know how many people would visit the wild safari on a normal day from the data you would have collected last several years. But we see very long gap and then 4 trucks will come all at once and wait there. For a 1.5 hours safari if they have 18 trucks we should see at least one truck leaving the station every 5 minutes. I spoiled my kid’s holiday's for which I feel very embarrassed. Totally it was such wastage of money and time. The only ride we could take was the skyway. WE started standing in the queue for wild safari at 11. ![]() Then it took 15 minutes to get through the security check etc. It took half hour to reach the parking lot. I should get a full refund of my expenses plus any consolation for what i and my family have gone through. Someone from the management should try it themselves to understand the pain. But after 6 hours of wait in the hot sun my kids where so tired and slept in the truck the moment the safari started. Because of that experience I came back there with my younger son hoping that he would love it too. I could drive my own car and we enjoyed it a lot. I have been there about 5 years back with my elder son. It was the worst planned and managed event. We have waited 6 hours in the queue to get into the wild safari. the experience will change every visit, but the huge wait times and rush-through ruined the safari adventure for me. And, of course animals are unpredictable, so you might see lots of animals close to the truck, you might see them all laying off in the distance coming no where near you. so be prepared that this may be your only ride at the park, especially on a busy day. Trust me, you're not zipping over any ersatz African plain! With the outrageous waiting times, plus the addition of the loading and unloading at the Exploration station, you've got to budget at least 4 hours for this whole "adventure". All buses stop at the Exploration Station where you can get off, see some smaller animals, and pay more money to feed giraffes and llamas, or pay for a ridiculous "Zip Line", which is more like a chair lift at a ski lodge that runs along side of the building. You're basically taking the same road that the cars used to, with one or two exceptions where you go over some bumpy terrain to make it seem off-road. its really difficult to take pictures because of the rush through the safari. the driver sort of pauses infront of herds of animals, to stay on schedule. Your vehicle is staffed by a guide, who seems semi-informed, but rattles off the information as though the memorized a script. which I suppose is their idea of a "theme". after boarding the open sided bus they put on this cheesey video starring people with Australian accents. most of the line is under tents, so at least we weren't in the blazing sun. 1 and 1/2 hours before being made to stand infront of a backdrop to take a safari-themed picture. on a not-so-crowded day in the park we waiting approx. there's even a sign that says lines may exceed 3 hours. ![]() but that was before they made you take the Safari Bus Tour. I had previously rated the Safari as "Awesome".
