We did the Sunrise safari when we stayed at the AKL.
I think it was $50 each and included breakfast, but was only available at the time to concierge guests.

The safari itself was similar in nature to the jeep safari but the vehicle stopped at lots of excellent points in order to get photos.
We were also shown the animal houses at the rear of the park but were not allowed to photograph there.

Could you please clarify what animals are in AK?
I have a real phobia of reptiles and I would like some reassurance that I will not suddenly come across anything that will give me a panic attack, or at least know they in a separate house/section that can be easily avoided.

Is there an age limit for the behind scenes tour at AK?
