THE ENCOUNTER

Hands‑on ringtail lemur time

Guests enter the lemur exhibit for close interaction: feeding, petting and the possibility of direct contact with curious ringtail lemurs under staff supervision.

THE TOUR

A private guided sweep of the park

The birthday booking is delivered as a private, guided tour that includes the lemur exhibit and a look through the rest of the Safari Park.

THE CELEBRATION

A focused, intimate party format

The format is designed for a single private celebration with guided interaction and space for your group to gather on site.

What the day feels like

What the two‑hour celebration feels like

The party unfolds as a concentrated two‑hour slot: a private guide leads your group into the lemur exhibit for supervised feeding and petting, then accompanies the party on a tour of the broader Safari Park. The pace is intimate and interactive—designed around close animal encounters and a private guided visit rather than a run‑of‑the‑mill zoo stop.
