C'est vrai qu'à certains endroits, la proximité avec les animaux est surprenante, ce qui contraste avec d'autres endroits ou la cabine est plutôt assez haute...

Hello. I can see you don't like the ride. I love the Safari! You can come very close to the animals, and it is very safe for the environment, it´s using "green electrical power". The old car ride was very boring, especially in the middle summer (highseaseon) when it was stop in the traffic and it took up to 2,5 hours to get through the park. Now it´t 26,5 minutes, not a minute more or less. It makes it easy to plan a day att the zoo. Al people I have heard talk about the ride after there first time have been very happy about it and think it´s a great additon to the park. I have only good things to say about the new Safari.

And, you said it is very high sometimes, it´s only when it passes itself, in the lion enclosure or in the bear enclosure. The ride comes back to thoose enclosures again so you can see the animals close up.

A picture of the ride:

What should be interesting would be to travel at he same level of animals especially in slopes,does this occur ?on pictures we see so much iron fences ,stone roads ,pylones ,concrete ponds and we can imagine that there is no real surprise during the visit .
But of course lambda visitors will like it and it will make money even if it's not a great idea in terms of" vertical "relationship between human being and wild animals.

You don´t see much of the fences from up there. There is much stone roads because it was a car safaripark. Hopefully next year they are more overgrown by grass and plants. There are one place you are traveling in the same height as the animals, in the mountain enclousure with ibex.
