FOR FRIENDS OR COWORKERS:
Animal Wine Toppers – These charming little trinkets from Xcursions, Busch Gardens’ Conservation shop, are perfect for animal lovers and as inexpensive last-minute gifts.
The animal figurines, made from recycled aluminum and scrap wood, top off a wine bottle once the cork is removed and can be purchased for $14.95 in the following animals: dolphin, elephant, giraffe, and sting ray.
Proceeds from Xcursions benefit the SeaWorld-Busch Gardens Conservation Fund.
FOR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS OR BEST FRIENDS:
Serengeti Night Safari – As the sun sets on the Serengeti Plain, its inhabitants awaken after the heat of the day to hunt, forage and explore. Now guests, too, can venture into the African night with the return of Busch Gardens’ Serengeti Night Safari, offering unique animal encounters, a campfire experience, and the opportunity to hand feed giraffes their “midnight snack” on the Serengeti Plain.
Perfect for date night, team-building or a girls’ night out, the unique experience begins with heavy hors d’oeuvres and a selection of beer and soft drinks, where participants can get to know each other and their tour guides.
The Serengeti Night Safari begins after sunset on select Friday and Saturday nights and costs $60 per person, plus tax. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to participate. For reservations see our web site or stop by the Up-Close Adventure Center located in the Moroccan Village near the park entrance.
Stay tuned next week for more unique and adventurous Busch Gardens gift ideas perfect for your parents, grandparents, and the entire family. Have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving week!
