    Wonderful video!
    4:00 CBD capsules work 10x better than Ibuprofen and is so much healthier for the gut. Ibuprofen burns away at stomach lining so be careful with taking too much of it or any at all for that matter. I quit Ibuprofen 5 years ago and am incredibly thankful I did because it had already caused a kidney stone after taking it here and there for 20 years. Take care. ❤

    Parking in on a hill so be prepare to walk up hill if you don't get a spot in one of the first rows. There is a little tramp in the parking lot that takes you to the main entrance but it is always a long wait times and it is better to just walk up. Also, this area town gets really hot not just in the summer so bring plenty of water and sunscreen. One more tip, if you have a family member with a disability that cannot stand in line for the Africa Tram you can ask for a return time pass at the umbrella by the tram entrance.

    For your next video, could you do videos focusing on the wildlife presentations in the two parks? I would recommend the Wildlife Wonders at Wegeforth Bowl in the San Diego Zoo and Journey into the Wild at Benbough Amphitheater in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

    Please do a similar video of the zoo. We are coming to California in June and plan to spend most of our time at Disney and Universal but want to take one day to drive down to San Diego because my mother wants to see it. Love your videos.

    My family waited through all the switchbacks of the Africa Tram and it was only a 30 minute wait!

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  10 місяців тому

      I think that might depend on how many trams they have running. Because we’ve waited 20 minutes before and were already halfway through the “inside” portion.

    Which Safari would you recommend? Would it be better to walk around the park first and then do a safari or do that safari first?

  • @zookeepersam888
    @zookeepersam888 10 місяців тому

    These videos are coming out at the perfect time! I'm going to the zoo, safari park, and SeaWorld next week for the first time. I seriously can't thank you enough for these!
    Question: I'm coming from the otherside of the country for these parks, so I'd like to do a safari on top of the tram. Which one do you reccomend? I can't decide 😅

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for the Super Chat! We loved the Deluxe Flightline Safari because you got to do the zipline, PLUS you got a 30-minute Asia Cart Safari built into it. It's like two paid safaris in one. The regular Flightline is just the zipline.
      We haven't done any of the others, but if I had to pick one other one we'd like to try it's the Wildlife Safari which gets you upclose to Giraffes and Rhinos. I believe that was the safari we saw while on the Africa Tram.
      But if you want a safari that goes around the Asian Passage, which is only accessible by paid safari, then it's either the Asian Cart Safari or the Deluxe Flightline Safari.

    I love my Okapi. That made my day. So so cute. Along with the tiger cubs. Glad you went back. I love it there. It's so pretty. The walk about Australia both days I went was closed. Not sure why. My next San Diego trip will probably be February 2025. If I can wait that long.

    Visiting back home to cali in March and planning to go the Safari or san diego zoo. Have still to decide on which one. I have been to the zoo already but my kid hasn't gone to neither yet. I think the safari is more friendly when you got a toddler on a stroller though.

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  10 місяців тому +1

      The Safari park is definitely flatter. Lots of hills and steep inclines at the Zoo where you don’t want to be pushing a stroller uphill.
      That said, if it’s been at least 5-6 years since you’ve gone, they have added Africa Rocks to the lower valley, and it has a much more gradual incline back to the top. They’ve also added an elevator and bridge at the top connecting both sides.

    Thank you so much for the insights! I will go in mid May. I wonder if you know any shuttle option from Hotel Circle area to Safari Park during a weekday? Google Map says it takes 2 hours on public transit, so is taking Uber the only option if I don't plan to rent a car? Thanks!

  • @wingsovermikey

    I remember visiting many years ago and going with the gated truck extra tour. I seem to remember it was about 3 hours, and we got to feed the giraffe's leaves, and they stopped at an outpost within the tour where they provided lunch. It doesn't appear to be offered on the menu now, unfortunately 😢

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  10 місяців тому

      The Wildlife Safari used to have the giraffe feeding. I know it stopped for COVID, but I’m not sure if they’ve resumed that or not.
      They have like 6 different versions of the Wildlife Safari so one of them might be closer to what you’re describing.
