The hyenas run around more and so do the wolves. It's very exciting because you can't see what's coming up ahead." The over-night adventure includes includes a wildlife movie, evening meal, guided night tour of the grounds (with flashlights), and sleep-over in safari tents. After the moonlight tour, campers campers can retreat to the safety of a big central fire pit for stories. As they huddle together under the stars, they can listen for the chilling sound of a lion's roar, the piercing shriek of a cougar or a pack of wolves howling together at the moon. Safari campers campers greet the morning with breakfast and a second tour by day to see the animals in a new light "It promises to be an unforgettable experience, says Mr. Gienow.
