Currently making a headline 'round the tourist destinations in Cebu is the Cebu Safari Adventure Park. Located at the northern part of Cebu, the place as well as the display of African animals are a hit to both young and adults.
Back in the day, people from the south side of the country have to either go to neighbouring islands or up north in Luzon to experience a safari adventure but not anymore - we don't have to travel that far.
My first safari experience was years ago in Zoobic were I got to fed cubs, ride a truck inside the tigers haven and interact with other wild animals. Since then, I have been fascinated with these wild animals. In the years that followed, my parents were adventurous enough to also include safari visits when we travelled in other asian countries. And now, having the Cebu Safari Adventure Park just a few minutes from where I live is a dream.
Going there is easy, you can either commute from the City via bus or van or drive which will roughly be around 2 hours depending on the traffic situation. And from the town center of Carmen, you can ride a van that can take you to the adventure park and back. Fee is at 200 pesos per head. Van ride to the safari is around 10 minutes. Entrance fee for the park is at 800 pesos for adults. 50% or half the price for children and free for children below 2 feet. The entrance fee already includes a set of meal and one round of drink.
Upon going inside, the crew will put in your park bracelet for scanning and then a short orientation on what to and what not to do inside the adventure park is done along with a short briefing on the adventure park map.
Was unable to take a photo of the main entrance but it had the same level of security as the other safari adventure park in other asian country - it really makes you proud to go in and see the level of advancement it has :) From the main entrance, a safari truck will take you to the different stops for sight seeing. Depending on where you want to go, though is it highly recommended to check the attractions by foot for a more safari like experience.
Our first stop was at the garden, where a thousand orchids are being taken care of. It was a wonderful sight to see, it reminded me of Keukenhof in Holland but instead of tulips, I was surrounded by a cascading mountain of orchids.
Second stop after walking up, was the bird dome. Cebu Safari Adventure Park has 14 bird species scattered all over the park. The ones in the dome were Red and Blue Lorey and Pigeons. Each attraction has a personal guide to tell you more about the species. With the birds in the dome, you can feed them at 20 pesos per feeding - which I tried and would say is the most relaxing thing I've ever done that day.
Third stop and the stops in between are of different animals, mostly from Africa. The white tigers but they were resting thus the limited and not good quality photos then turtles, cheetahs and more birds. The adventure park is huge that there are still hidden places you can explore, such as the pathway surrounded by tall trees. Probably, my favourite though was the giraffe encounter as well as the zebras. Overall, I would definitely go back.
