There is also a walking tour and a van based tour that can be taken. The cost for the trip will include your lunch, which often will include a specialty meal such as one with alligator in it.
It is essential to book your safari adventure ahead of time whenever possible. You will also need to make payment arrangements ahead of time. The cost currently is about $100 for adults and $90 for seniors. Children under the age of 12 are about $80. Those that will take the adventure should be able to walk comfortably and should dress comfortably as well. The trip is a long one for some children, but a half day safari may be a better choice for those that are younger or not willing to spend all day out.
