Want to feel like you’re on safari, without leaving the country?
Head to Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa, a new glamping experience that’s now open at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, which is about halfway between Philadelphia and New York City.
The exclusive overnight experience is situated within Six Flags Great Adventure’s 350-acre Wild Safari area, which is home to more than 1,200 animals.
“Spending the night in the comfort of a luxurious glamping suite, surrounded by more than 1,200 animals, right in the middle of a safari, in New Jersey, is unreal,” says Staci Wheeler, marketing manager for Six Flags Great Adventure. “Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa is both exciting and serene. Surrounded by 350 acres, guests can imagine themselves on African safari when, in fact, they are less than an hour from New York City.”

Guests can check into 20 one- and two-bedroom glamping suites, which can accommodate between two to six guests and feature customized furnishings, Gilchrist & Soames amenities and décor made from organic and natural materials. Some of the glamping suites have private verandas that offer panoramic views of Wild Safari.
Overnight visitors can also relax in the safari-inspired spa, dine at a private restaurant and enjoy other VIP experiences, like chauffeured access throughout the resort and opportunities to feed the giraffes. Visitors can also take the first “Safari Off Road Adventure” tour of the day, which involves riding in an open-air, off-road safari vehicle to see animals like African elephants, Siberian tigers, lions, red kangaroos, white rhino and bears.
