Science on Safari – This contactless safari experience features a special Academic Adventure audio tour, grade-specific guidebook and optional visit with an animal educator. Safari Off Road Education – New in 2022, this fun and educational tour on a giant, off-road vehicle features a personal tour guide and driver, and an opportunity to feed giraffes and meet small exotic animals up close. Six Flags offers five programs that have been updated for 2022 including a new, off-road experience: Safari Education Programs – Six Flags Academic Adventures programs were developed by the park’s New Jersey state certified teacher and tailored to the appropriate age groups while following New Jersey state learning standards. The wider roadway will help better accommodate guests who wish to enjoy the tour at their own pace and accommodate school buses for educational programs.

Roadway Enhancements – All guests will enjoy a smooth experience on an expanded, two-lane roadway with five newly paved miles of blacktop. Throughout the spring, guests can expect to see additional babies including American bison, zebra, aoudad, kangaroo, dama gazelle, blackbuck and more. In the safari, they are true to their name and are often found submerged in ponds with only their heads visible above water. Their milk, which has more fat than that of domestic cattle, is used for making a liquid butter in India. In the wild, they are commonly found on farms as beasts of burden. While they bear some similarities to their African cousins, the Cape buffalo, these are domesticated animals. Two Asian Water Buffalo Calves – Two adorable Asian water buffalo calves join the Afrikka section. The safari’s red lechwe calves, born onsite this winter, reside in the Wilde Plains section with vast array of African species such as giraffe, greater kudu, ankole cattle, dama gazelle, white bearded gnu (blue/brindled wildebeest), bongo and more. Two Red Lechwe Calves – Identifiable by their reddish fur, white-ringed eyes and tall horns reaching up to three feet long, this type of antelope is usually found near aquatic areas in Zambia and Botswana and are considered a “near threatened species” in the wild. Born in the safari, the pair of sable calves now reside in the Serengeti Grasslands section along with exotic hoof stock like addax, white-tailed gnu (black wildebeest) and aoudad. In the wild, their beautiful horns are a highly prized trophy for hunters. Typically settling near water, the sable is an herbivore. Two Sable Antelope Calves – This striking, horse-like antelope from Africa boasts a tufted tail, mane and impressive, ringed horns that curve like a scimitar. Due to habitat loss, poaching and other human-wildlife interferences, giraffes are considered “vulnerable to extinction”. A giraffe’s long neck measures up to seven feet long, and despite its length, contains seven vertebrae just like humans. They can stand up to 17 feet tall and weigh from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds. Native to Africa, giraffes are the tallest land mammal on Earth. Three Reticulated Giraffe Calves – Three adorable and graceful calves were born in the safari this winter and join the safari’s “tower” (group) of 13 giraffes. He lives side-by-side with other animals native to Africa such as elephants, ostriches and zebras. With a diet of hay and grain, Sawyer and his fellow rhinos are one the world’s last remaining “mega-herbivores” – a large animal that eats mainly plants. At 3,800 pounds and growing, Sawyer has a youthful bounce in his step and enjoys human touch like scratches from a bristle brush. Although grey in color, the southern white rhinoceros is the largest living species of the five species of rhino, averaging 4,000 to 6,000 pounds. Sawyer, the Southern White Rhinoceros – Six-year-old Sawyer joins three adult female rhinos in the Africa section of the safari. The 350-acre wildlife preserve will debut new animals, memorable guest enhancements, increased capacity and streamlined park operations.
