Summer’s here and it’s time to start packing in those summer memories! Our first stop of the summer was to African Lion Safari. Located smack dab between Toronto and London Ontario, it’s an easy car ride, made even better with a car packed full of excited kids! We left early in the morning anxious to take in all the park had to offer. Your admission into the African Lion Safari includes enough to easily fill one wonderful day.
Time is well spent in “Pet’s Corner”, so much cuteness! Have you ever taken a selfie with a camel? Add it to your bucket list!
I had to get a little bit of help with my selfie; that sneaky Camel kept trying to snack on my hair! (maybe this is a sign that I need more conditioner?)
Insider tip: Head to the Pet’s Corner first, you will have the entire area to yourself!
Take a ride on the “Nature Boy” Railway. My youngest visitors loved this one so much they wanted to do it twice!
Enjoy a cruise on the “African Queen” Boat and spy a variety of monkeys playing in the trees, and exotic birds hiding in the trees.
See the “Elephant Swim”! Check those programs because these giant elephants only swim a couple of times per day.
Don’t miss the educational and fun Bird and Animal Shows!
As well as my very favourite part of all, the Safari Bus Tour! You can pay an extra fee to board the bus with the family, or take your chances with the baboons and drive your own car. My advice, take the bus! Those wee baboons are a tad destructive!
A great way to end your day in the park is The Misumu Bay Wet Play Water Park!
Worth Noting: Parking is included in cost of admission. You can bring your own food into this park, or take advantage of one of the many dining options dotted around the park. This is not a nut free facility. If you are a CAA Member Show Your Card at the gate and save 10% off your tickets!
African Lion Safari is a fun and easy day for the entire family! Pack the sunscreen, some snacks and the camera, and enjoy the adventure!

never been there yet but good to know CAA gives me a discount
I haven’t been here in years, thanks for reminding me what it’s like and for the helpful tips. I plan to take my niece later this summer 🙂
This looks like so much fun and what a way to spend a bit of one’s summer vacation having fun at a safari. I wish we had something like this close to where I live.
Hope the monkeys didn’t do damage on that car!
Look like great fun–you and the family has the best adventures.
Growing up, one memory that makes my dad still laugh is when he drove us kids through a zoo safari like the one in your pics and one of the ostriches ate an antenna ornament that he had on his car. That one still makes the old guy smile.
I love the Elephant swim the most! Never knew they could go in water.
im going to try and convince hubby to take us there. its been many many years
it’s been AGES since i’ve been to ALS
want to take the kids looks like fun
Use to go here when I was a kid, must remember to take the grandkids on their next visit!
I want to go! This looks like it would be a great event for the family to do together, I know my kids would absolutely love visiting all the different animals. I would definitely want to do the Safari Bus Tour.
We went there a couple years ago and it is definitely a great family outing!
We visited there years ago when our kids were tiny! We loved it and so did the orangutans as they kept a few pieces of my sisters van!
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know about the CAA discount
OMG i got to go here once. It was SO amazing. I never seen ANY of those animals before! LOVED the zebras!
