  • Serengeti Safari tour once again available at Busch Gardens

  • Social-distancing measures will be implemented on the tour

  • Tour will be limited to two groups at a time

  • Busch Gardens reopened last month

The theme park has announced that visitors can now schedule a Serengeti Safari tour.

The 30-minute, guided tour takes visitors on an off-road adventure across the park’s 65-acre Serengeti Pain. Along the way, visitors can observe exotic animals such as zebras, rhinos and antelopes.

Busch Gardens will limit the tours to two groups at a time for health and safety reasons. The open-air safari trucks will be divided into designated spaces to keep the groups physically-distanced from each other. Visitors are required to wear face masks while on the tour.  

The safari tour is not included in regular Busch Gardens admission. The tour is currently priced at $29.99 per person and reservations are required.

The return of the Serengeti Safari experience comes nearly a month after the theme park reopened to the public. Several new health and safety measures have been put in place, including mandatory face masks and temperature checks. Visitors will also need to make a reservation for park entry.
