Hide AdJen, 76, along with Michael, 86 and Doris, soon to be 93 jumped on to the mini bus, and had a wonderful day out seeing many animals including gorillas, lions, antelope, and more. They didn’t let the light rain stop them as they made their way around the 90 acre park.
Jen’s favourite was of course, the many elephants at the park, whilst Michael and Doris enjoyed seeing the tigers.
