Passes CANNOT be placed on hold- they are checked out on a first come, first served basis.
Each pass can be checked out for three days (previously, it was one week).
Shamba Safari - reopening Spring 2025
Drive your car through this amazing wildlife park and feed many of the animals!
See giraffes, rhinos, zebras, tigers, eland, oryx, camels, ostriches, emus, water buffalo, wild dogs, and more.
This pass is good for up to four people, once per day. It does NOT include animal food.
Unfortunately, last year several people abused this pass. This pass was intended to be used once per day, by one family of four. Several people used it multiple times per day, even passing it back along the line in front of the admissions area in full view of the business owners.
In addition, we had several argumentative people here at the library complaining about how they had just returned the pass so that their friend or relative could check it out again, and someone else checked it out instead. Please be fair to other people who have not yet had a chance to use the pass!
Using experience passes is a privilege, not a right!
We are paying twice as much this year for the pass, and Shamba employees will be returning it to the library after each use. Any more abuse of this pass may mean that we cannot purchase it in the future.
