Safari Village

The Safari Village is a ten acre walk-thru area and a nice addition to the Safari drive-thru. Visitors can buy some food at the gift shop and feed many animals and their babies in the patting area. They also can buy feed sticks and feed these colorful birds, as they perch on your hand. The safari village has a nice variety of animals and I posted pictures of some of them here.

Virginia Safari Park – Part 2

The Safari ride was about an hour long, so Dave and I took a lot of pictures. In Part 1 I posted the pictures from the beginning of our ride and this post contains the rest of the pictures from our safari adventure. There is not much to say about the ride. I am sure, that most of the animals are well known to everyone. The main actions that happened there were driving slowly through the park, feeding the animals and having FUN! Here is a beautiful Eland Antelope in the picture below.

The Natural Bridge

The Natural Bridge of Virginia is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States. It’s located in the city of Natural Bridge,  in Rockbridge County. The Natural Bridge is a towering 215-foot limestone archway, that’s  55 feet higher than Niagra falls, and U.S. National Historic Landmark.

Discovered by the Monacan Indians; treasured by Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States,  who purchased it from King George III of England; surveyed by a young George Washington; traversed by Civil War soldiers – this great stone monument is a looking-glass of history. In Colonial and Early America, The Natural Bridge became one of the most notable natural wonders on the continent.
