I was at Busch Gardens Africa on June 4th and I have to say this park never fails to disappoint. All of the operations were excellent which kept the lines nonexistent. The staff is helpful and friendly, for the most part they all seem to be enjoying their job. Now I might be a little biased… Sheikra is my number one coaster! I’ll do whatever it takes to get to this park. It will be interesting to see where they decide to put their next coaster! Enjoy the photos below.
