Question
What are my transportation options to and from the Safari Park?
Answer
We recommend taking the provided shuttle from the hotel at 4:30pm to the Safari Park. At the end of the reception at 11pm, a shuttle will be available to bring guests back to the hotel. If you prefer to use your own vehicle, we have a limited number of parking passes available. Please contact us so we can distribute them. We recommend using your own vehicle if you plan to leave the reception early as alternative transport options will be unreliable.
Question
What's the bar situation?
Answer
The bar is fully open with beer, wine, and cocktails for the first hour of the reception (cocktail hour). After that we are covering the first $1000 dollars of drinks ordered. If that runs out it becomes a cash bar. There is also a complimentary self-serve tea, coffee, and water station provided.
