Workers construct one of the many animal shelters found throughout the Safari. Many of the animals arrived long before the park was ready to open to the public, so the care facilities were some of the first buildings to take shape |
| At the entrance the toll booths begin to take shape as wooden frameworks |
 |
 |
The entrance plaza nears completion with only the end section of the wooden roof material still awaiting installation along with pavement |
| Workers install the rough-hewn wood to the roof to create the rustic feel of the Safari buildings |
 |
 |
The "S" of the wooden Safari sign rests on the roof awaiting installation |
| View from inside the Safari looking out down the entrance road. The center of the road has a small trench in place which runs the length of the Safari. A wire will be laid before the road is paved, which will broadcast a radio signal to cars explaining the animals and their habitats |
 |
 |
Workers grade the road in preparation for pavement. Some of the animals are already living in this section, as evidenced by the feeder off to the side of the road |
| More animals arrive from other zoos and animal parks, as well as being imported directly from their countries of origin |
