Itinerary
Some of the attractions at San Diego Zoo Safari Park include:
Experience Africa:
This
interactive family show features life-sized "parade puppets," magic,
and music to involve and entertain you as you help bring life-saving
rain to the animals during this playful African folktale. Come join the
fun and help bring the rain!
Animal Trackers:
Test
your knowledge of wildlife trivia as you play along during Animal
Trackers, a new, interactive show at the Park. Held at Benbough
Amphitheater, the game show-themed program includes visits from some
very special animal guests. Come see how much you really know about
animals!
Frequent Flyers Bird Show:
An East
African crowned crane in flight is a stunning sight viewed by only a
privileged few, until now! The crane is one of the stars of the Safari
Park's all-new bird show, Frequent Flyers. Frequent Flyers offers
spectacular flights and focuses on a variety of birds from around the
world. You'll find this program engaging as you watch more birds free
flying, offering a chance to see the feathered cast's natural talents.
With over 40 different species and growing, no two shows will be the
same. Frequent Flyers is full of great fun, natural history, fantastic
stories, and, of course, lots of birds!
Animal Encounters:
Meet
a variety of critters and their trainers during these up-close-and
personal talks throughout the Park. And always keep your eyes open,
because you never know what wild thing may be making a surprise walk
through (or flyby!).
Elephant Show:
You will
be amazed by the way our keepers work with a 10,000-pound
(4,500-kilogram) pachyderm, as elephants demonstrate behaviors that
feature their strength, intelligence, and versatility.

The driver was knowlegeable. He was on time to pick us up at the Park. We saw a lot of Southern CA while heading over to get those who were at Legoland but not a big deal. The Safari Park is excellent. We had enough time there. The whole experience made for a great day. Thank you.

The experience at San Diego zoo Safari was excellent. The transport arrangement worked fine. But there was no add value other than provide the transport and drop and pick us up at the Safari park. For example they could have spoken about the highlights of the Safari park, the various options available there, like the balloon ride, different animal experiences, the various sections of the zoo etc. The travel time to the Park could have been utilized better.
