![]() The bison were shedding their winter coats (it’s about time!) and we saw several adorable bison babies, including the one above that was nursing. Some of the bears had some barriers as well – no worries). Most of the animals roam free in their areas, and the vehicle drives around on bumpy unpaved roads, adding to the safari experience (the lions were separated from us by a large ditch, and the tigers were caged. He was indeed standing in the middle of the road (we went around him). I just loved this bison that we encountered in our first section. There were a few short videos throughout the safari that talked about the animals – they didn’t add much to the experience, and they always started or ended with a radio station advertising, which was incredibly annoying. If I didn’t read about that ahead of time, I wouldn’t realize that’s what was going on. They have a video screen in the front of the vehicle which is supposed to help tell the story of some family who owns this game reserve (that’s their story).

Lesson learned.įortunately our wait was only 85 minutes, but that was plenty long at 11:30 a.m. But we were smart – or so we thought – arriving at the park at opening bell (10:30 a.m.), hitting Kingda Ka first (10 minute wait!) and then the log ride right next to the safari entrance (10 minute wait) – figuring it was still really early and we’d have a relatively short wait.Īpparently the rest of the park goers skipped Kingda Ka and the log ride to go STRAIGHT to the safari. We heard about the three hour lines (and there’s even mention of that in the park. We went to Great Adventure’s safari a few years ago, when it was a stand-alone entrance or upgrade.
