One
special weekend each month (and on other days for
private groups or party's) The Shambala Preserve opens
its gates to the public for a series of exciting and
informative "safaris" through the world
of the big cats, all of whom are endangered or threatened
species. Meet African lions, Bengal and Siberian tigers,
and black and spotted leopards, servals, and mountain
lions, up close and personal!! All of these exotic
cats have been born in the U.S. to be sold as pets.
The
afternoon Safari consists of a 3 hour planned program,
including a 1 hour guided, walking tour. Gates will
open 30 minutes prior to the scheduled tour.
|
|
|
The
tour culminates at the Shambala Lake. You can bring
your lunch and have a picnic and enjoy a leisurely
lunch in the beautiful lakeside setting.
You
will also have an opportunity to shop in our Shambala
Boutique, "Join our Pride" by becoming
a member, or become a Wild
Parent by adopting one of our magnificent Wild
Ones! As an adoptive parent you have the opportunity
visit your Wild One on Parent's
Day, which is the first Saturday of the month.
PLEASE
BE AWARE: Our safaris fill up quickly, so please
try to send in your reservation at least one month
in advance.

| Rules,
Regulations & Suggestions |
|
All
guests to The Shambala Preserve must be at least 18
years old. No exceptions. We offer "Partners
in Education Program" for schools and youth
groups.
Also
keep in mind that Shambala is in a high-risk
fire area. The Wild Ones ask that you do not smoke.
|
 |
|
 |
We
suggest that you wear comfortable, flat shoes. Shambala
is located on unimproved land so you will be walking
on dirt pathways and not paved roads. For this reason
comfortable shoes are a must.
Also
we ask that you do not wear shorts. This will protect
you not only from the sun but also from low brush
and shrubs.
Also
remember to dress for the climate, dress in cool layers
and remember a hat in the summer. In the winter a
coat is a must.
|
|
|
We
suggest that you bring a camera for your personal
use only.
PLEASE
DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS. They will not be
allowed into the preserve and it is not healthy for
them to be left in the car.
Remember,
our animals are wild, not pets. We do not allow any
touching.
|
 |
|
|
Please
remember to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after your
visit. We have tables and chairs in our lake area
where you can enjoy your meal after your tour.
We
also suggest you bring plenty of water, especially
during the summer months as it does get very warm.
Although we do sell water in the gift shop sometimes
we run out so it helps to plan ahead.
