Up‑Close Animal Moments
On this private Pinz tour you get one‑on‑one interactions with exotic animals: feel a camel’s hump, touch the coarse wool of bison, and meet giraffes eye to eye in an educational, entertaining hour.
Private Pinzgauer — A More Intimate Ride
The Private Pinz accommodates small groups and travels where larger safari wagons cannot, creating a tighter, more personal photo‑safari experience for family and friends.
Animal Painting Add‑On
You can enhance the visit with an animal painting experience for interested guests — participants pick colors and hold the canvas as animals make their marks for an additional fee.
