A Journey to the Wild Side

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Private Safari Tour to Africano Park Alexandria, I knew it was something my family and I had to experience. The idea of a private safari, just a short drive from Cairo, promised an adventure that would be both educational and exhilarating.

Our journey began with a comfortable pickup from our hotel in Cairo. The kids were buzzing with excitement, and I could feel the anticipation building as we made our way to the park. The drive itself was a scenic delight, offering glimpses of Egypt’s diverse landscapes. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our knowledgeable guide, who would lead us through the wonders of Africano Park.

Immersed in Nature’s Beauty

Stepping into Africano Park felt like entering a different world. The lush greenery and serene waters created an oasis that was both calming and invigorating. The park, known as the first open zoo in Egypt and the Middle East, is home to a wide array of wildlife, and the design of the park allows for an intimate encounter with nature.

Our guide took us on a river trip, where we had the chance to see hippos, crocodiles, and various fish up close. The kids were thrilled, their eyes wide with wonder as they spotted these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The park’s commitment to creating an authentic African experience was evident, with industrial waterfalls and African music enhancing the ambiance.

A Day of Adventure and Relaxation

After our river adventure, we took a break at the African restaurant Zambezi, where we enjoyed a delicious meal to the tunes of traditional African music. The flavors were rich and exotic, a perfect complement to the day’s activities.

The park offers a variety of activities, from fishing to table tennis, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. My husband and I enjoyed a leisurely game of ping pong while the kids explored the playground. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and bonding, a perfect example of how travel can bring families closer together.

As we made our way back to Cairo, I reflected on the day’s experiences. The Private Safari Tour to Africano Park Alexandria had exceeded our expectations, providing a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. It’s a destination I would highly recommend to any family looking to create unforgettable memories together.
