Have you always wanted to go on safari in Africa? Now you can, and all from the comfort of your very own Golf Cart Tour. The tour highlights the animals in our Africian Exhibit. The carts are driven by Kansas City Zoo Docents who are knowledgeable about the Zoo’s exhibits and animal collection.
Not all of the Zoo’s exhibits are accessible by cart. Therefore, short walking tours will be part of the adventure, if desired.
