- Consider purchasing the 'Flexi Guarantee' at the time of booking if your plans might change, as tickets are generally non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Plan your visit for earlier in the day for the best chance to see a wider variety of animals, and consider multiple tours of the Safari Drive.
