The safari itself is six zones, crossed by bus or in your own car. The Walking Safari Zone is the part you cover on foot, feeding animals as you go. In the Fureai petting park you can get close to red pandas, capybaras and miniature horses, and there are flying shows and feeding times. Staff hold the reins for the pony rides, so a first-timer can sit up. One feeding bus has a lift and takes wheelchairs as they are.
