Busch Gardens offers an array of fascinating attractions based on exotic encounters with the African continent.

The park is a unique blend of thrilling rides, one of the country's premier zoos featuring more than 2,700 animals, live shows, restaurants, shops and games.

Rides include Gwazi, the Southeast's largest and fastest double wooden roller coaster, and Tanganyika Tidal Wave, a seemingly tranquil jungle journey aboard a 20-passenger boat that ends with a sudden plunge down a 55-foot drop, creating a tidal wave that gets everyone sopping wet.

Animal attractions include the Serengeti Plain which features hundreds of exotic African animals that can be seen from the Serengeti Express Railway, Skyride, Serengeti Safari and various walkways, within naturalistic environments featuring rolling landscapes, elevated terrain and lush vegetation.
