Tips for families
Go on a weekday if you can, and buy safari tickets first, as they sell out. Carry water, hats and sunscreen, and keep snacks sealed, as monkeys are bold. Plan four to five hours for the zoo, butterfly park and safari.
Families staying with us often book our Family Suite, with a king bed, a sofa bed and a separate living area.
