Two exciting new features have been added Jungala and the Seengeti Night Safari.
In Jungala you will discover a colorful village, nestled among towering trees, flowing waterways and elaborate stone structures. Explore a 3-story play land of climbing nets, mazes and exploration tunnels, soar above the treetops on a zip line adventure or launch into the sky from inside a 35-foot waterfall. Then, connect up close with exotic jungle animals. Come face-to-face with orangutans and test your strength in a tug of war with a Bengal tiger. It’s an unforgettable adventure and an extraordinary mix of discovery and fun in the only jungle in the world that plays with you.
You can start your nighttime safari in the Edge of Africa witnessing feedings and the active nocturnal behaviors of hippos, lions and hyenas lit only by moonlight and lanterns. Then, on the Serengeti Plain, use night-vision monoculars and special filtered lighting to view free-roaming herds of giraffes, zebra, rhinos and other intriguing African animals. The tour begins and ends in the exclusive Safari Club, with savory appetizers and beverages and a night cap complete with coffee and desserts. The Serengeti Night Safari begins after sunset on select Friday and Saturday nights and costs $59.99 per person, plus tax. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to participate.
