Hi, I've visited Safari West 4 times this calendar year. And I have gone at the 11 a.m. trips and the 1 p.m. trips.Both have been quite wonderful. When the weather is hot I think some animals seek more shade, but the setting is so open and wild and wonderful that you see the animals without any difficulty. I have not stayed overnight yet, but will do that sometime. I'[ve eaten in the food court and found it quite pleasant and the food good. The service is cheerful and helpful and very kind. This place is just wonderful. Enjoy.

We had tents 26 and 26, lake view and short walk yo monkeys, lemurs, giraffes and cheetahs. Safari you see antelope, water buffalos, rhinoceros, ostriches, wart hogs and zebras. I don't know what the cost is as my daughter made the reservations but you can search deals. We had nice lake view Buffet dinner for adults was 29.95, all you can eat BBQ. We also had complimentary nugget breakfast including eggs, muffins, fresh fruit. To be honest, a might and one full day is sufficient to get the whole experience

Yes, part of it. Best to go with guide as you get into the enclosures.
