A baby zebra was born in the safari park

- Start date
Was there on the 19th and didn't see any Nyala.
The drive-through safari now has a whole herd of Javan Banteng. Based on the park's socials I thought it was just 3 bulls. Turns out it's an entire herd! I'm guessing they must be from the Center For The Conservation of Tropical Ungulates in Arcadia. Saw them close up only a few feet from the car! I will write a review when I have more time.

I have no idea if this is important, but a capybara encounter is now available to guests
A new venomous reptile house (external viewing from the looks) is under construction. The picture on Instagram made it look nearly complete. "more details coming soon" apparently.

Update from my visit today
No sign of the before mentioned rhino fence was seen in the safari park. This ether meens that they scrapped there plans to get rhinos, or they are going to get rhinos and alow them to live with the animals on the main car path like in Lion Country Safari
The venomous reptile building is complete and has Black Mambas, Egyptian Cobras, Rattlesnakes (Dusky pigmy and Dimond back), tree boas, and a few other species
Baby water buffalo, elk, deer, wildebeests and Jacobs sheep were in the safari park

Did you enjoy your visit? I'm thinking about visiting here when I go up north soon. I see they give Florida residents discounts, so it won't break the bank as bad.

It was good. Some of the enclosures in the walk though area of the park could definitely do some touching up but many of them were just fine, and the safari park is always really cool to see. Florida resendents get in for around $26, and that includes both parks.

I just went a few days ago. The safari ride should have Nile Crocodiles in the first pool and the second one has American Crocodile according to a sign, though I didn't see any.
The gator park currently keeps American Alligator, Spectacled Caiman, Dwarf Caiman, Hall's Crocodile, Orinoco Croc, Cuban Croc and Slender-snouted Croc. Siamese and Morelet's are apparently no longer present, despite the park pamphlet still listing them.
Also, here is the complete list of species for the snake area.

Does the zoo not have cotton-top tamarins anymore? They made a couple posts about them on Facebook in 2022.

I would love to know what actually happened because the wording is very vague.
