The Serengeti
Not the real thing but close enough. :)
One of our favorite attractions at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL is riding the Serengeti Express. We were there (yet again) last weekend thanks to our annual pass, hehe! :) We were supposed to go to Orlando, also to check out the Westgate properties that we’ve heard of so much about, but hubby had to work so he just dropped us off at Busch Gardens – our default hang-out. :)
The Serengeti Express runs the length of the entire theme park and offers a wonderful break from the heat of the sun as well as if you want a nice rest from walking around too much.
Case in point. My tired little wanderer.
What makes the Serengeti Express special, is that it chugs along the Serengeti Plain – a simulated safari that Busch Gardens is famous for.
With the train running at a leisurely pace, Ninna and I get to see a lot of cute animals in their “almost” natural habitat.
This horned animal (I forgot what it’s called).
A giraffe.
A white rhino behind a tree.
A grazing zebra.
And Ninna’s personal favorite, the flamingos.
Now that its the summer break, I sometimes have trouble thinking of activities to keep my daughter busy. Going to Busch Gardens is my sure bet. Not only does she get to enjoy riding on the rides, playing at the water park, and walking around the zoo-ish environment, she also gets to learn about the animals and has a lot fun doing so in the process. :)
