Elephants gather sand and mud with their trunks and throw it onto their bodies, providing sun protection and repelling bugs. Sand helps dry and warm their skin in the cooler months, while mud helps to keep them cool in the hotter months.
African Lion Safari will be OPEN DAILY May 3 – September 14 & SELECT DATES September 17 – October 12, 2025.
We look forward to seeing you “On Safari!™” soon!
