This exciting event begins at 4:00 p.m. with a greeting from the Shambala Staff, at which time you will be given bottles of a cold, refreshing drink, and your bags will be taken to the tent. Then you are off to visit our magnificent residents. Our staff photographer, Bill Dow, will follow along in order to record this wonderful day for you. Midway through your tour you will stop for refreshments where you can relax and watch some of our tigers, lions, and leopards in their enclosures. After you are "refreshed" you will resume your tour and see the remainder of the Wild Ones, which includes visiting our beautiful Black Leopards and Bobcats.

There will be time to relax in the tent before you are served appetizers, at which time you will be joined by your gracious hostess, *Tippi Hedren. Appetizers will be followed by a salad, a gourmet dinner, and a dessert which has been prepared especially for you. If you wish, *Tippi will join you for dinner. You will dine in the gazebo and watch while the ducks and other birds play in the lake. Possibly you will see a tiger cooling off in the lake, as the sun crawls lazily behind the mountains.

After dinner you take a midnight safari to say goodnight to the Wild Ones and wish them sweet dreams. Then it is back to the tent to drift off to sleep in the wonderfully luxurious feather bed while listening to the mesmerizing sounds of the lions roaring and the mystical sounds of other wildlife that surrounds you...

You will awaken in the morning to the roar of the lions and the voices of other wildlife on the preserve. You will believe you are really in Africa! Muffins, fruit, and juice will be on the verandah for your breakfast, and you can shower while watching the tiger who lives in a compound close by, and the tiger can watch you!

One last look around at the spectacular animals and surroundings and then it will be time for your departure. We truly hope you will have had a marvelous time and that you will want to visit us again soon.
