I was watching this for funsies, and I just realized I was your tram driver! Thanks for all the love to the park! <3

[andyfish]

Thanks for the video, you really do good video tour for us. Since lot of people go to SDZ for giant pandas, I decided to go for the safari park :>

Going to the safari park next week and this video was EXTREMELY helpful!

Wonderful video!

4:00 CBD capsules work 10x better than Ibuprofen and is so much healthier for the gut. Ibuprofen burns away at stomach lining so be careful with taking too much of it or any at all for that matter. I quit Ibuprofen 5 years ago and am incredibly thankful I did because it had already caused a kidney stone after taking it here and there for 20 years. Take care. ❤

Thanks so much for this video. We are headed there next Friday. Your info and insight will be very handy when we are there. Be well!

[celestial-lwtd]

Thank you for this! I’m planning on going here within a few days time, and this just answered all of my questions. :)

[natandjustin]

yay thanks so much for this video! heading there in a few days for our anniversary 🥰

[johnbehneman]

I LOVE THE SAFARI PARK!!!! I NEED TO VIVIT AGAIN!!!!

[CazBanana]

Please do a similar video of the zoo. We are coming to California in June and plan to spend most of our time at Disney and Universal but want to take one day to drive down to San Diego because my mother wants to see it. Love your videos.

My fav place...I do miss the Watering hole place...Happy New Year

[ploeyramirez]

Great video! We're going there in 3 days! We're so excited! We got the deluxe wildlife safari tour. Should we still ride the Africa tram? Will we see more stuff that can only be seen by the Africa tram? TIA

[Nissanghmohanbabu]

For your next video, could you do videos focusing on the wildlife presentations in the two parks? I would recommend the Wildlife Wonders at Wegeforth Bowl in the San Diego Zoo and Journey into the Wild at Benbough Amphitheater in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

I'm looking forward to driving to the San Diego Wild Animal Park.☺️ To see many animals.😎👍👍

[SamsExotics]

These videos are coming out at the perfect time! I'm going to the zoo, safari park, and SeaWorld next week for the first time. I seriously can't thank you enough for these!

Question: I'm coming from the otherside of the country for these parks, so I'd like to do a safari on top of the tram. Which one do you reccomend? I can't decide 😅

[tbx]

Nice, haven't been since it was called the WIld Animal Park and planning on going sometime this year.

[lizethromo]

Parking in on a hill so be prepare to walk up hill if you don't get a spot in one of the first rows. There is a little tramp in the parking lot that takes you to the main entrance but it is always a long wait times and it is better to just walk up. Also, this area town gets really hot not just in the summer so bring plenty of water and sunscreen. One more tip, if you have a family member with a disability that cannot stand in line for the Africa Tram you can ask for a return time pass at the umbrella by the tram entrance.

[reginaphalanges]

Great video! Quick question..why do you hate aviaries?

[lisabostrack]

I love my Okapi. That made my day. So so cute. Along with the tiger cubs. Glad you went back. I love it there. It's so pretty. The walk about Australia both days I went was closed. Not sure why. My next San Diego trip will probably be February 2025. If I can wait that long.

My family waited through all the switchbacks of the Africa Tram and it was only a 30 minute wait!
