Your safari section is 18 acres of open land where different animals roam. It was created so that the animals in this area would have a nice open space to act as natural as you would see them in the wild. As you drive around the outside of the fenced-off area keep your eyes open for our herds of Fallow Deer, Japanese Sika Deer and White Tail Deer. They like to hide among the tall grasses, in between the rocks and trees and near the fences. Sometimes all you can see are ears flicking or antlers sticking out of the grass. Keep a lookout for the Emu in this area as well. They love to play and chase each other.
