Cebu Safari and Adventure Park

The Cebu Safari and Adventure Park is set to be a premier safari park in the country with an international standard that rivals animal parks and zoos worldwide. Located at the mountains of Barangay Corte, Carmen, 50 kilometers north of Cebu City. It is a 100-hectare safari owned by Cebuano pawnshop tycoon Michel J. Lhuillier. So far, the facility has brought together nearly a thousand animals belonging to over 100 species from all over the world. And more are expected to arrive as the facility grows. There are fascinating fauna of all shapes and sizes from a kaleidoscope of tropical birds to majestic mammals like tigers, giraffes and orangutans.

Lets start the tour...

I suggest you get here with a private vehicle or rent a van for it's parking area is so wide and well maintained.

Here's the lobby for the ticketing area, information booth and refreshment store.
Frugal tip: Bring as much water as you can because you'll be needing it during the tour. They're selling water expensively there.

After you secured your tickets, (it costs Php800 lunch included) you will be forwarded to this briefing area. To tell you the things you're not allowed to do during the tour.

You'll be given this lists of places to visit and the map of the safari after the briefing.

Our first stop was in Michel's Garden, a flower farm. Featuring 1.2 million flowering orchid plants!

Then we proceeded to the Tiger Turf and saw these animals on our way:

The highlight of this tour for me is seeing this White Tiger. I've never seen one in the TV or the Internet. And I saw it personally and live! :D

Here's the pictures I took in the Orangutown area.

It was 11:00am when we got to the Safari Outpost. Time for lunch while watching the birds and meerkats.

This is the menu of the day. With one round iced tea and unlimited watermelons and pineapples.

After how many attempts, I finally timed this perfectly!

After lunch, we got in a tram to bring us to the African Savannah. A large enclosure that we tour on a safari truck. It's the most exciting part of the tour. Where I finally saw these animals for the first time and in close up!

They also have turtles, tortoise and crocodiles.

Then we visited the Macaw Aviary. Feeding of birds is available for only Php50.

Our last stop is in the Aviary Dome. Unfortunately, my camera died so I have no pictures. But my action cam is still alive so I managed to have some videos. Check it here:
