I was hosting my 8yr old nephew, who is a delightful high-functioning autistic fellow & decided the clasdic Lion Country Safari would be the perfect place to spend our day! This is a wonderful place to bring someone with "special considerations." My Alzheimers mom enjoyed it too, years ago. You can use your cell phone or - my preference - they loan you a wonderful cd to listen to as you meander along the self-drive safari park. A great appropriate-accent tour expert (with music from Africa too) guides you through each area of the Safari. Delightful stories of the individual animals - and their names! - accompany general information and fascinating facts of the wildlife you're able to stop and enjoy. As well, courtesy driving tips are mentioned so we can all be mindful of the park residents....& the other drivers! You can take your time, enjoy, discuss, move slightly for the Best Shot. It is perfect for someone who needs a little more attention. Or if mobility is an issue. Inside your car, the AC is cranked up, beverages, food & meds are handy, window & door locks are set. Absolutely Ideal. The walkabout park area is great too! My favorite is being able to actually feed a giraffe! Mom's too. The nephew was good for one leaf. He was tickled as well at the gumball machines full of animal kibble for the savvy fish, herons & ducks conveniently hanging around! Maps - in your hand & posted - plus signs are helpful for you see everything. (I suggest to the park they try using the colorful animal tracks already found here & there to help guide you to the different destinations. Works in Europran zoos!) On a hot day, misting stations & a great assortment of food, drinks, ices & ice cream keep you going. There's also mistfans by the boat rides, and a huge water fountain park to run through! (There used to be delightful fiberglass animals & Safari jeeps to take photos on. I hope they're just tucked away during renovations). The gift shops are well-stocked and you can buy happiness. (They just need to sell frames for your own selfies). This is an easy to get to, absolutely delightful way to spend a day for all ages. There's lots to see and do, and the animals can always put on a different show. Come EARLY in the day as the animals get hot too & tend to rest or retire in the shade. Hakuna matata!
