Q:
What happens when the animals rush the open side safari bus? Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but those bison and elk or whatever, one turn of their head and antlers/horns are hitting the people on the bus. Same with feeding animals through a fence like that with the zebras. Might be generally a calm animal, but even unintentionally if they turn their head quickly if startled, your gonna get your wrist snapped. Grew up on a farm, and that was always something you had to use caution about with animals. And this is a bunch of random people who don't have that caution.

Yes! Our son was 20 months and rode without an issue, and there was a 1-year-old on the ride sitting across from us. No problem at all. In fact, our son threw his pacifier overboard at one point, and the guide went off the truck to get it for us!
