Vision Quest Safari

Awesome is just one of the adjectives I would use to describe this place. We arrived before 1pm and checked in for the 1pm tour they offer daily. The tour leads you through their small zoo where you get to see a variety of animals up very close (within 3 ft) that you would otherwise not see at such close proximity, their lion Jacob is a huge!!! The tour last about 1 hour and is pretty well rounded. We then Checked into our Giraffe manor bungalow which was clean and very appropriately decorated with a giraffe theme. The view overlooking the valley and elephant play pen is just breathtaking, now add the roar of the lions and the laughs of the hyena and you feel like your at an actual African Safari. If you stay at the b&b I highly recommend doing crunch time and butch’s bedtime, feeding the Tigers was a great experience and being able to interact with the elephants was very memorable. Highly recommends this place to everybody you will not be disappointed. As for some of the other reviewers complaining about small enclosures, this is true however they have already built 4 giant beautiful enclosures that already house there tigers and will soon house there bears and lions! They are really doing there part in providing a wonderful place for these wild animals in captivity and expanding! Can’t wait to visit this place for years to come.

Pros– beautiful animals
The bnb is worth it!
Affordable and beautiful scenery
Cons– too large a crowd
Only one tour a day
Not enough time to capture decent photos bc the tour guides block your view sometimes also bc there are too many people u don’t get enough time. You’re rushed through also people take longer to capture photos and if you’re last in the group you’re rushed ahead so u miss shots.

I celebrated a birthday at vision quest a few years ago and it was an amazing experience. The safari tent was cozy and comfortable and I loved sitting out on the front deck with a glass of wine while watching the animals. Waking up to lion roars in the middle of the night was so neat! I felt like I was really in Africa. Breakfast delivered by an elephant in the morning was so unique and really made the trip. I’d definitely recommend adding on something to do with the animals. We put the elephants to bed, and it was great to have that extra time with them. During that time we learned that the elephants are retired circus animals, what a wonderful place for them to spend the rest of their lives. It is a little pricey, but I like to think that some of that money is going towards caring for the animals. Look for them on groupon, I’ve seen marked down rooms quite a few times!

This place is awesome! Tents are super clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. They seem to work really hard and really care for the animals. Combo tour is a must if you stay and breakfast delivered by elephants is a great part of the adventure. Hope they continue to be able to build better enclosures, allowing the lion and bears more space. Sounds in the middle of the night complete the safari feel!

Booked my reservations 2 months ago drove 7 hours to her here and found that they don’t have my reservation? Watch out for the website. Very misleading showing you to have a zero balance after payment but if you do not SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM the reservation isn’t done, even though it Shows it as paid! Very BAD.

Great people, good experience. Just too pricey at about 350 per night. It was cool but not 350 cool. If you can get a Groupon or something I’d say good deal.
