After enjoying a light dinner, you’ll have an opportunity to hand feed these amazing big cats in a once-in-a-lifetime encounter that you’ll find nowhere else in the world.
You’ll relax in our courtyard with Bubbles our gentle 9,000 pound African elephant and get up-close and personal with amazing endangered wildlife including monkeys and many more. You’ll also have an opportunity to toast marshmallows with Sugriva, our beloved and world famous chimpanzee. Please note that this tour does not include swimming with or riding on Bubbles.
