Take an African safari right here in Denver by joining us on this exclusive tour. Go behind-the-scenes at the award-winning Benson Predator Ridge to meet some of our social carnivores. Get to know our playful African wild dogs, intelligent spotted hyenas, or even our majestic African lions during this exclusive behind-the-scenes experience. You’ll learn more about these inspiring animals from the animal experts who care for them every day. Seats are limited, so sign up for this amazing opportunity today.
Please note that because of safety regulations, guests will not receive direct contact with the animals, but rather will get a closer look than public perspective allows with exclusive access and interactions. Due to animal care needs we cannot guarantee which species participants will meet ahead of time, including the lion cub.
African penguins are not included in the Predator Ridge encounter program.
