★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 12 reviews · from $154

Review of Cairo’s private Africa Safari Park day trip, with close animal encounters, Zambezi lunch, transport details, value advice, and practical tips.

“This trip was too expensive for what it was. The experience itself was incredible, however, a lot of the animals were forced into the pictures, indeed some were rewarded with food but others were merely shouted at and had the glass banged on by the staff.

He was taking pictures with the animals and sometimes when we didn't get any pictures, we had to wait for him to get his pictures taken. He constantly wanted to be in pictures with us as well, when we simply wanted to…”
