Rent a Gulf Coast villa and take a jeep safari

Families don't have to travel to Africa to go on safari - they can see plenty of wild animals on a Florida holiday during a visit to Busch Gardens.

Situated in Tampa Bay, the theme park is home to a unique attraction called the Rhino Rally, which takes visitors on an exciting journey through the African plains.

Families will jump in a jeep and travel along a bumpy dirt track, passing exotic animals such as rhinos and elephants along the way.

As well as viewing these fascinating creatures from an excellent vantage point, riders will also be taken on a exhilarating water adventure as the jeeps become rafts as they cross a raging river to get to safety on the other side.

It could be the perfect attraction for adrenaline seekers who love animals and enjoy the thrill of getting up close to wild creatures.

But the Rhino Rally isn't the only safari ride at Busch Gardens. Visitors can also take a tour through the Serengeti Plain where they will come face to face with zebras, giraffes and other animals.

Truck rides are available, or guests can travel on the Serengeti Express Railway. A Bird's eye view is also available from the Skyride.

Those renting Florida villas in Bradenton will be able to drive to Tampa Bay easily. They will also be close to the sandy beaches on Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Lido Key and Siesta Key.
