Some useful tips how to visit African Lion Safari

We go to this nice place every year and we learn some rules and tips, which I am sure might be helpful for you, when you decide to go.

1. First of all, never, never, never go there on long weekend. You can easily stuck in traffic for an hour. That exactly what happen with us this year. From turn of Concession Rd 8 to Cooper Rd until cashiers we've spend about an hour in traffic. Literally.

2. Second tip, you can come on Elephants swimming time. You can find schedule here http://www.lionsafari.com/planyourtrip/attractions/elephantswim

3. Right after elephants swim you can visit bird and animal shows. I would recommend "Birds of Prey" flying demonstration and "Elephant Round-Up". Elephant show a must see. But be prepare for sitting on open space under the sun. On sunny, hot day it could be very hard.

4. After elephant show you can have a elephant ride.

5. Then you can get some lunch but I would recommend go directly to Safari itself. You can check the closing safari gates time before you go. Usually it is open until 5:30 p.m. but from September gates close at 4:00 p.m. So be aware of that. http://www.lionsafari.com/planyourtrip/hours

6. After visiting all wild animals we usually having BBQ. You can find plenty of special spaces with tables, for that kind of activity. We always carry portable Weber propane BBQ it is so great to have lunch or dinner.

7. After lunch or dinner if you will have time, you can go for another safari ride or you can go for cruise aboard the "African Queen" Boat and journey on the "Nature Boy" scenic railway.

I hope this tips would be helpful for your first or next experience in African Lion Safari.
