We went in August to the Safari Park and loved it. We stayed the night and thought it was a great experience. We took our 20mth old and I think it's great for kids and adults. Lots to do and lots to see. The staff were really friendly and we will definately stay again. Just eating at the restaurant was great, with the lions sleeping and drinking right up against the window. Make sure if you go that you get table 4, its the got the best veiw of the lions. Oh and go to the bathrooms in the restaurant too. If you are there for dinner they bring in animals to the lobby that you can hold of pat and get lots of photos with at no cost. There are some inclusions if you are staying with them eg. safari ride on the bus through the park (sit up the back you get the best photos and dont get squashed), breakfast and a few more things. The animal photos weren't included but we didn't have to pay for some reason. The water park part cost 30-40000rp from memory which has great slides etc for the kids. The elephant, camel and pony rides are extra too. You can see the elephants have a bath and buy a bunch of carrots to feed them and they take them from your hand. If you stay you look out onto the zebras, rhinos, wilderbeasts etc. which is amazing!! If you only pay for one thing do the safari tour in the bus. There are lots of animals to see as you just walk around too. Good luck on choosing. I can't say anything about the Zoo as I haven't been there,
