Gary and Donald,

Do you know whose voice they used for the recorded Safari narration that guests tuned into on their car radios in the early years? I am wondering if it might have been Butch or maybe Warner?

You can hear a segment from last year's recording by clicking HERE.

All I remember is that they had alot of trouble with it in the beginning? Produced by a company name Bilo if I remember. The voice was someone we didn't know?

Do you recall if it was a man's voice or a woman's?

It was a mans voice.

In a newly obtained article, it mentions that during the park's earliest years Great Adventure provided portable cassette players and tapes with a recorded Safari narration for cars that did not have radios! Keep in mind car radios were still "an option" during the early 70s.

I wish I had one of those cassette tapes today. It would make a great piece of memorabilia!

I actually have or had a tape from the Texas park where I worked and alot of the animals for GA came from. World of Animals.
