Roar, S’mores and Snore 2024
“(Al)pac-up” your “trunks” for a “roarsome” camp out with a difference with the ones you are very "fawned" of and "octopi's" most of your thoughts......
Check in to your choice of accommodation and enjoy a peaceful nights rest and leisurely morning before we welcome you to Safari Zoo!
You'll be meeting in our entrance building for a welcome drink before our tour begins! After an hour or so, we’re heading to Tibor’s Plaice Restaurant for a tasty, fresh and plentiful feast! With full bellies we’ll then begin our exclusive out of hours access VIP tour with our friendly, knowledgeable keepers – who have the “koalafications” to make sure you have a “whale” of a time! This jam-packed tour includes behind the scenes visits to Stanley the Sloth, the Andean Bears, Tapir Kaya & Pinto, the Red Pandas, the Primate House, Red and Grey Kangaroos and our Africa House to meet the residents including the White Rhinos PLUS a “su-purrrrr-b” opportunity to hand feed one of our Big Cats!
With full bellies and happy faces it’ll then be back off to your pod, complete with a personal Safari S’mores Kit to enjoy your last night of glamping bliss with S’mores under the stars! But, the fun doesnt end there as we’ll be throwing in admission tickets for all the party to join us here at the park for the “purrrfect” end to an experience you and the ones you couldn't "bear" to be without will never “fur-get”
And that's not all - you'll also receive tickets to return on Sunday with passes to hand feed our resident Giraffes, Lemurs AND Giant Otter!
We have some delicious accommodation options for you to choose from as part of your getaway. Prices are per party for 2 nights and include the roar, smores and snore activity and admission tickets for all the party.
