The company hopes to lure higher-spending travelers to its theme parks with bucket-list experiences more commonly found in Kenya or Botswana.

Giraffe encounters on an elevated walkway. The roar of nearby lions from a private veranda. Early morning game drives with elephants and rhinos. These experiences, typically reserved for safaris across the vast African continent, will soon be found at an amusement park in New Jersey, which also offers access to the world’s tallest roller coaster.
Six Flags Entertainment Corp. is venturing into luxury hospitality, with a 20-room safari hotel slated to open on June 14. Located just 15 miles from New York City, inside the safari park at Six Flags Great Adventure, the Savannah Sunset Resort & Spa will perch guests above Ankole cattle, wildebeests and black bears that roam the property’s 350-acre African-themed expanse.
