Maybe you’ve always dreamed of going on an African safari, but the long journey and cost makes it out of reach. If you crave the magic of the wild without the hassle, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey has just the answer.

In celebration of their 50th anniversary, they’ve unveiled Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa—part of their biggest park investment in 20 years.

Nestled within the 350-acre Wild Safari and home to over 1,200 animals, this exclusive retreat offers guests a luxurious overnight experience amidst a vibrant animal kingdom.
