Is Busch Gardens Better Than Disney's Animal Kingdom? 🦒

While at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay for the Food & Wine Festival, we decided to take a break from all the eating to do the Serengeti Safari Tour! For an extra $50 on top of Busch Gardens park admission you get to jump in the back of an open air truck and get up close with all the animals on the safari. By far the best part of this experience was being able to hand feed the giraffes. This was one of the coolest things we have ever done at a theme park and we highly recommend doing it the next time you visit Busch Gardens! We also got to feed kangaroos for $6 (not part of the safari tour) & this is now Kitra's favorite theme park 😍

I want a pet Giraffe now. I mean that’s crazy and not plausible at all but I still want it. Lol Love the slow-motion Kitra scream lol

Ha thanks

[@handyandy006]

Another great video. I’ve never seen anyone so hyped and excited as Kitra was to see giraffes🤣 That part when you’re feeding them had me in bits laughing, ‘I just want to lettuce’ as it’s sticking it’s tongue out😆

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

[@stacyscooby8488]

Amazing to see the animals up close that’s an amazing experience.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It was such a great experience

[@teresalyn1678]

Looks like BG was a definite winner. We have been to some drive thru safari parks where you drive your own vehicle and can feed the animals through your window. I have some funny pictures of zebras trying stick their heads in the car and critter noses pressed against the windows. Always a good time. Makes a mess though.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Never been to a drive through safari. Would love to do that someday

I love seeing the Busch Gardens videos, as it’s my home theme park. I live half an hour away and have been there more than any other theme park. I haven’t done the Serengeti Safari since I was a kid, but it looks great. Can’t wait to take my kids on it! 🦒🦒🦒

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We can’t wait to get back to Florida and explore it more. We didn’t get to se much of the park because we were filming the food festival

[@TravelingKristin]

Dont be scared for the giraffe peter, worse they can do is slobber on you. I have been lucky to stay at Giraffe Manor twice in Nairobi, where you have breakfast with the Rosthchild giraffes. Amazing experience. For $50 that is a great experience! those giraffes love a treat.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Agreed it was an awesome experience

[@crystalgoeden1868]

Loved this! Thanks to you, I’ll be mentally prepared for the long giraffe tongues if I ever get a chance to feed them! 😃

Okay we need more kitra meeting giraffes in our lives now!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@disneygirlmo7098]

There's a place in Arizona where you can feed the giraffe by holding the lettuce out in your mouth and you will get "kissed" by a giraffe! You can also get really close to the other animals, as well.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha omg 🦒😍

[@daniellemcmain4163]

Oh wow that looked amazing I have fed giraffes before and remember the tongue it's like sandpaper haha

Just about to sit down and watch this with my girls! Busch Gardens isn’t on our list of place to visit when we go to WDW next Easter, but maybe another holiday is required!!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It’s worth checking out but you need a car because it’s a sizable drive away

That is soooo amazing!!!! I need to do that next time!! Feeding giraffes such a unique experience and that rino toilet lol!!!!! There is a petting zoo at AK... Don't remeber where it was but not like these experiences were!! We did wild Africa trek at animal kingdom and it was one of the best experiences of my life...... was such an epic few hours on the safari.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😍🦒❤️

[@KevinGerhardt]

Two things for this video -- 1) Liking the new intro; very animated and colorful. 2) Way back in he day (like the early 80s, the *Los Angeles Zoo* had those molding machines and it cost (if I remember correctly) $2.00 to $3.00. I had one of molds and I think it was made with some kind of plastic (maybe wax). BTW I like Kola Bears and Kangaroos too.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I used to have a bunch of moldaramas as a kid from some museums in Boston

[@edvaira6891]

Those are some very patient sweet-natured giraffes! Got to do something similar at the SD Zoo Safari Park at a Member event about twelve years ago (ours liked banana leaves!) and it’s really a neat experience...they’re tongues are REALLY articulated, almost like our fingers

[@nathan3252]

The giraffe encounter price can vary depending on a number of factors though if you have an annual pass you can get in on those tours for about $15 on some days. The animal encounters are always unique though depending on when you go. I remember my mom getting to feel a baby giraffe kick in the momma's womb when she did it once. It was quite the experience. Some times other animals may even get curious. We once had an ostrich that got very curious about us but since we had nothing for him he left after a while. If you think those are interesting though then you may want to also look into some of the other encounters. My mom has also been on the hippo encounter. Apparently some of the hippos are huge fans of bananas. You can offer them a mellon but they really love their nanners. The kangaroos often are fairly sedate most of the time except when they get hungry then its truly a feeding frenzy. There is also the lorikeet aviary which also lets you feed the birds. Just be warned though the birds can be real characters. They kiss. They bite. They poop. They will preen you. They will use any part of you they can to get close to that food. You will likely have up to 10 birds all fighting to get that sweet nectar goodness. My current record is 15 birds at once with nectar in booth hands. Great picture. When it was done they left me disheveled but with a couple great pics. The only other feeding I know of is the infamous thieves ie ibs, coots, and squirrels. The coots are my infamous twirk squad as they seem to do it most of the time while walking around. The ibis are pretty much as pervasive as seagulls and will beg right at your feet for food. The squirrels are truly a class unto themselves. They will climb into the trash to steal stuff from there. I remember once taking a selfie with a squirrel as it peeked its head out of the trash. It didn't even realize I was there till after the pic. Was funny as hell. BG is always a fun visit for me.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Wow it all sounds so awesome! We’d love to go back and experience more things ❤️

I fed the giraffes probably 20 years ago - for about $15 extra! Why are you afraid of giraffes when they are such gentle giants?when I took a group of twelfth graders backstage at AK on their educational program, we got to pet a rhino ( behind huge iron bars) and visit the feeding buildings, etc- this was in 1999 , shortly after AKopened in 1998.
