The Safari Park for ELEPHANTS

Karen invited me to an afternoon of Pachyderm Pleasures!


I was so excited to experience Elephant Valley, the newest, massive exhibit at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park which officially opened on March 5th.


This 13-acre habitat allows visitors to walk alongside a herd of eight African elephants and observe them up close, featuring mud baths, watering holes, and expansive savanna.



The elephants follow their natural curiosity to engage with the intriguing world around them as they forage for food, navigate to find new resources such as water, and interact with one other.



The world’s largest land animal, African elephants, are a keystone species throughout the savanna, shaping their environment through their movements, diet, and behaviors.
And what an incredible environment newly created for them, years in the making and so very worth the wait!

After admiring the elephants up close, we boarded the African Tram in order to see even more species, though this time from a distance.





There are a total of FIVE baby giraffes on display. Wow.









We concluded our day admiring the tigers (this is Karen's usual).


This was an afternoon of a special magicalness that can only be experienced with an old friend sharing new memories. I am so grateful.
