Scroll down to learn about different animal encounters you can add to you Safari Friends Walking Tour, each for an additional cost.

KIT AND CABOODLE

Our Kit and Caboodle is roughly a 150 minute tour that includes all that's included in our Safari Friends Walking Tour, a large feed bucket, and personal animal encounters with potentially* up to FIFTEEN of our exotic animals. These encounters include our Capybaras, North American Porcupine, Small mammals, Anteater, Reptiles, and more. If you meet the minimum age requirements, you also get to encounter our primates (only 12 years and up) and our Asian Small-Clawed Otters (only 8 years and up).

This tour is highly recommended for those who are already fairly comfortable with animals and those above 8 years old.

This package is $125 per person.

Expect to learn, laugh, and get a little messy - because the memories (and the smiles) will be totally worth it.

*While we strive to offer all animal encounters, they depend on animals' daily temperament and tour guide discretion.

ANIMAL ENCOUNTER ADD-ONS

Animal encounters can only be added to the "Safari Friends Walking Tour".

Each animal encounter price is per person and is added on to the $25 General Admission price.

You can only purchase an animal encounter with the purchase of a

"Safari Friends Walking Tour" general admission ticket.

**A guided tour is required for purchasing any animal encounter**

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our posted age requirements are based on our personal knowledge and experience with each animal, its species, age, temperament, preferences, etc. The age requirement is a minimum and may vary based on Tour Guide discretion after observing a child’s and/or adult’s behavior, respect of the animals, staff, and other guests and a person’s ability to follow instructions during the tour. A Tour Guide has the right to end any encounter at any time, without a refund, if a guest (child or adult) is unable to follow the instructions being given or is unable to remain composed during the encounter, making for an uneasy environment for our animals. We kindly request you use your best judgment when purchasing an encounter ticket for all guests in your group, taking into consideration their maturity level, previous animal experience, and listening skills. If you are looking for a special introduction to an animal, and would like a private experience, please reach out on our contact page, for additional options that may be available for your group, child, or animal lover in your life!

Thank you for your understanding that this rule is in place for the safety of all our guests, staff, and our amazing animal family and to ensure their comfort and well-being.

DARBY SAFARI WAVIER

PLEASE PUT CARE AND CONSIDERATION IN TO CHOOSING YOUR

TOUR DATE, TIME AND TOUR TYPE, AS MOST RESCHEDULING REQUESTS ARE DENIED.

We have a “NO REFUND POLICY” in place, as we are a small human family and team - feeding a LARGE animal family!

Every rescheduling request from a guest increases administrative fees, employees pay time and reduces the tour size without having time to replace those tickets, while taking away the available tickets for purchase for a future tour date.

A large amount of time, money, and effort goes into rescheduling every tour ticket which then means less resources to feed and care for all our animals!

Each request for a reschedule date is delivered to management and may be approved only under extenuating circumstances. If your request is approved, a reschedule fee with be charged based on the following schedule:

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*LESS THAN 24 HOUR NOTICE) $25 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*24-48 HOUR NOTICE) $20 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*48-72 HOUR NOTICE) $15 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*72+ HOUR NOTICE) $10 PER TICKET

Any cancellation of a rescheduled date, for any reason other than inclement weather, will forfeit reservation and all tickets without a rescheduled date.

Darby Acres Farm and Darby Safari do not receive any outside funding. We rely solely on the wonderful people who schedule tours, traveling zoos, and their generous donations!

We thank you in advance for your understanding and we are so grateful for your support!
