I bought two day passes for the zoo and Safari park. The navigation at the zoo was difficult using the app. Parking was CRAZY but I figured it there was an additional parking at the other end of the park. I got a paper map at the Safari and parking was much easier. Navigating the Safari was much easier and I like the natural look of the Sahara park.

Had an awesome time. My favorite was the female lions. How regal the triplets were. My granddaughter ( birthday gift) was captivated by the face painting, the reptiles and the wart hogs she affectionately called "Pumba". My adult children's favorite part was when the cheetah charged the tram, but was really chasing a bird. The day was perfect@

The Safari Park was an incredible experience and made so easy with Headout! It was a breeze getting our tickets the day before we wanted to go and it couldn't have been easier. My partner and I had a memorable day that we will treasure forever! Thanks Headout!

    Was a great time. We got there early. The park was empty and the park was so clean. Such a great time. The app and maps aren't that straightforward. Could use some updating.

    My family really enjoyed our trip to the Safari Zoo. Would've wished there would've been more available animals to see and the Africa tram was closer to the animals but it's okay. Our kids who are 5 and 3 still loved it.
