Customer Reviews
We had an amazing time at Wilstem. We did the elephant spa package. It was incredible to spray and scrub the 2 elephants. The handler was very knowledgeable and great with the elephants. It was completely worth every penny. The Roos and crew was also pretty cool. We enjoyed feeding the giraffe the best! 5 stars all the way. Where else can you bathe, touch, and play with elephants!?
We had a fun time at the safaripark. The drive thru was the best and we had a lot of fun feeding the emu's. Everybody is enthusiastic about the giraffe and the elephant, but we didn't like it that they are alone in a cage. It doesn't feel right. I felt the same about the monkeys and the alligator in way to small cages. I didn't like the part of the root barn and I'm curious if this is allowed.
I did not book a room, but what an absolute incredible experience! We did the all access pass with the elephant spa and the otter encounter and basically were the only two people there, which made this experience one I’ll never forget. Thank you for making my partners birthday surprise an incredible experience. All in all I would give you 100 stars if I could. You all are amazing!
The self drive thru safari drive was awesome. So many different unique animals to see and feed. Was a little pricey I think. But we had so much fun and took maybe an hour to go through. Also be prepared to have feed all in your car but so worth it.
The safari was great! The elephant encounters were awesome! The guy who took us on our elephant safari was knowledgeable and awesome! Feeding the giraffes was a lot of fun! Our cabin was nice wish they had nicer bed and blankets and extra pillows didn’t sleep good , the doors didn’t close all the way in Capone cabin no pans to cook with no picnic table to eat outside when it said all that was provided! Other then that it was a great time
