The San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Consider downloading the park map ahead of time. I didn't, and ended up wasted a lot of time looking for animals. It’d have been nice to plan my route before stepping foot inside

If you can, aim to arrive around 9:30 AM. That's when the gates open, and you can catch the animals while they’re active and explore the park before it gets too packed.

Definitely wear comfy shoes; you'll be doing a lot of walking! I learned the hard way when my feet hurt after just a few hours. Plus, pack a water bottle to stay hydrated since it can get hot out there.
Serengeti Safari

I suggest showing up right when they open at 10 AM. It's way less crowded and you can get better photos of the animals without other visitors in the way

My advice is to bring extra snacks and a refillable water bottle. Food inside is a bit pricey, and you'll want to stay hydrated while exploring!
