Join an African safari just 30 minutes from Tampa’s cruise port at Busch Gardens. This amusement park has Africa-themed rides and animal exhibits like the Congo River Rapids and the Jungle Flyers zip-line course. The Pantopia section is home to Falcon’s Fury, North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower, which sends riders into free fall from 102 meters (335 feet). Animals to see include gorillas and chimpanzees in the Myombe Reserve, cheetah running demonstrations, and the Serengeti Plain’s rhinos, giraffes, and more.
