This is a brand new program aimed at pre-schoolers and will run every Thursday until the end of August. Each week has its own feature animal and will have a special activity such as face painting, hair braiding and crafts. The junior safari bus will be pulling into Safari Station each morning with a customised tour for kids with all the animals you know and love but with a shorter duration and commentary featuring songs and rhymes. The bus ride is such a perfect activity with kids, you get to see everything without little legs getting tired. Ravi loved the junior version with all the songs!
