Most people go to the safari park to see the really big animals.
The first image shows two lions playing near an abandoned car. For some reason, the lions seem to like being around the car.

The second image shows a close up of the female lion (through plexiglass).
The first image was taken on our way to the safari tram. The second image was taken on the way back from the tram.
The third image is a water buffalo.
The fourth image has two elephants. The baby (about 6 months old) is in the background. Baby elephants weigh 150-200 pounds on the day they are born (gasp). They then gain about a pound a day. This baby already weighed about 1000 pounds.An older male who was born in 2004 and so was about 9 years old at the time of this image, is near the water. This elephant weighed about 3000 pounds.
The guide said that elephants don't usually breed until they are about 12 or 13 but this guy seems ready.
