Activities Breakdown

A great day out for all the family. Our kids and grandparents. We books the safari truck early on in our planned day and explored the grounds for our remaining time. We took a packed lunch but stopped at Babydoll’s restaurant for a drink (soft drinks for kids!). The cafe by the dafrari truck waiting entrance served the most delicious sausage rolls! And had a good selection of ice lollies and ice cream to keep the kids going!
