Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of Safari West? Join one of our very knowledgeable Behind the Scenes Guides for an hour-long peak into what lurks beyond the barn doors. Imagine peering down the hall of our giraffe barn and giving treats to the majestic creatures towering above you, or visit with a porcupine and feel their quills? Visit with Pumba and Miss Piggy, our African Warthogs. How about being licked by one of the smallest antelopes, Lily, and feeding treats to some of the exotic birds who are housed with Miss Lily, or even petting a giant porcupine!
It is sometimes possible to visit the cheetah barn where the cheetahs are housed and see them up close enough to count their spots and hear them purr. And, you might also get a chance to visit with Pumba and Miss Piggy, our African Warthogs.
