Safari by boat

Although most of the safari is done on the road, part of the fun is to ride a boat/barge around one of the islands. The island is the best way to keep the lemurs contained so that they do not wander off to bother the rest of the neighbours.

Lemur Island

The lemurs are not exactly African animals. They come from the island of Madagascar which is to the east of South Africa.

The barge makes a tour around the man-made lake. It is not fancy but it does accommodate my brother in his wheelchair.

Shinny bars on the barge to keep the people in.

The lake is a refreshing treat for some of the other animals too.

This is not a common bird in Ontario.

There are also Rhinoserous in the park, and they love water, but they were staying on land. They were otherwise occupied and required some privacy.
