Safari routes
Dear guests,
Guests often underestimate the distance on different routes. At an average speed of 15 - 20 km/h the cruising times on a Marine Park South Safari for example amount to approximately 50 hours!
When choosing your safari, please also consider that not every route is suitable for everyone. If you are not sure which route would suit you, please ask. We will gladly help and advise you in choosing the best safari for you.
