We went on a Sunday at noon. No wait but we noticed a small line formed after us. The Safari itself is not super large but you can go through as many times as you want. We only went through once. We bought six bowls of food in advanced and only used five. I recommend starting with 1 bowl per person. You can buy more there if needed. We also brought a container to pour animal feed into in the car so the full bowl wasn’t what we were holding while feeding them because some of them are rather strong and try to take/bite the whole bowl. It was a good idea. So you don’t risk dropping it and wasting your money. It helped us spread the food out so we had enough. We got great footage. They had a decent variety of animals. The animals are truly coexisting / roaming. They seem well maintained so none of us felt guilt or weirdness. Unfortunately, and I don’t think this is clear on the website, but you cannot feed the zebras and giraffes from your car. Luckily though, we happen to catch the giraffe feeding time. They do it every hour (so I think we caught the 1pm). It was $5 for a few leaves of lettuce or something like that. That’s what made the experience worth the drive from Chicago. In the end, it’s a unique thing to do. It’s safe. The animals are peaceful. The grounds are nicely kept. The staff was chatty, kind, and informative. They weren’t annoyed by any of our questions (and I’m sure they get asked the same things all day). There’s also an area to interact with the “baby” animals but most were timid due to children chasing them sadly. Overall, cool memory. And I recommend Mars Resort for lunch afterward. Only 20 mins away from the safari. Restaurant is on the water. They had live music. We all liked the food we got. I recommend the fried chicken for sure.
