Additional Comments
Loved the day out. Fabulous. In the road safari my wheelchair use was completely irrelevant. The ‘foot safari’ section had some really steep sections so my fit and healthy brother came in very handy as outboard motor and braking expert.
Paths tarmaced but very steep in places. I needed help getting up the hills and also down them safely.
Most things had low level viewing possibilities. The best part was feeding parrots nectar. The actually come and sit on your hands! – that and the monkeys, and the lions, and the squirrel monkeys… etc. etc!
Good discount for disabled person and carer too.
