Just in case you missed yesterday's post, this is what I wrote...
"It was on the Bucket List, we usually go several times each summer and so far, we have not been.
Friday was a beautiful day, the perfect day for a 1/2 hour ride to Great Adventure,
in Jackson New Jersey and a ride through the Wild Safari!
When we got there everything had changed from years past...
you no longer enjoy the safari from the comfort of your own car,
but in a large safari car driven by a park employee."
We weren't sure about the changes they made, riding in the big vehicle, no air conditioning,
we assumed the ride would be bumpy but we were there so we decided to give it a try.
The ride was bumpy, but the breeze...oh the breeze was wonderful.
I really enjoyed the safari trucks and the atmosphere they added, it felt like you were really on safari.
Our safari guide was excellent,
along with his deep knowledge of the animals, he had some "beary funny" jokes.
The animals were amazing, they looked healthy, they had plenty of space to run around
This is the truck we drove in.
It was very big and the ride was very bumpy but super cool.
There were a lot of Giraffes, they did not come close to the Safari Vehicle.
This bear nursing her 2 cubs was one of the most beautiful & touching things I have ever seen.
I wanted to read more about baby cubs, so off to google I went.
The cubs are born in January...they weigh between 8 ounces and 16 ounces.
Female bears may give birth to 1 - 5 cubs at a time but the average litter size is 3.
All of the Kangaroo's were resting.
This Baboon is sitting on a piece of an old roller coaster.
They are building these safari huts where people can rent them and stay the weekend.
and time to feed the animals as well.
The rooms are fully furnished and have air conditioning, just like a hotel room.
Called Savannah Sunset Resort & Spa you can see inside the rooms and read all about it here.
