Safari Park Tour - Free for Seniors - Arrive as early as you want

Sat, Feb 28 · 11:15 AM PST

Safari Park, 15500 San Pascual Valley Road, Escondido, CA, US

Join us to tour Safari Park Saturday, February 28th. Seniors 65 and over can enter at no charge. Or you can buy tickets online and save here: https://sdzsafaripark.org/tickets. As a member, I do have one extra ticket I can offer someone if they need it. Private message me for that.

Come as early as you want but we will meet as a group in front of the Safari Coffee Outpost at 11:15. We will wait until 11:30 and then head to a nearby venue for lunch. To get to the Safari Coffee Outpost just walk straight forward after you enter the park and you will see it on your left.

For lunch, I’m thinking of a really nice place by the water nearby. You can also bring your own food if you wish. Afterwards we can stay together as one group or depending on the size and the speed people want to walk, we can split up into a couple groups.
The weather will be great. Join us at Safari Park!

Cuba travel, legal and local… Thanks to the small group size, we avoid the big, government-run establishments, most of which US travelers aren’t allowed to patronize. As a small group, we can also dine at privately owned restaurants to support everyday citizens. Our groups of 12 travelers or less can visit smaller, more off-the-beaten-path places for more meaningful interaction with locals. Below are some of the things that make our small group trips to Cuba unique:

Authentic, local interaction: Your own dedicated Cuban trip leader throughout the trip will be your friend and show you Cuba through the eyes of a local.

Playa Larga: A sleepy beach town on the Bay of Pigs to escape the hordes of travelers at the major tourist hotspots. It’s a great place to witness everyday Cuban life in a typical Cuban town.

FAC: The Fábrica de Arte Cubano is a great place to mingle with Cubans over a drink while listening to live music and admiring works of art by local artists.
