Traveling in San Diego
Posted on July 30th, 2009 No commentsKnown for its miles upon miles of brilliant and sandy beaches, warm climate, and moderate weather, San Diego has become one of the most desirable places to live or visit in the United States and in the world. San Diego and the surrounding area has an interesting geography, ranging from the snow-capped mountains in the northeast to the Sonoran Desert in the east and the Cleveland National Forest in the central portion of the county. Traveling between these geographical extremes is quite simple thanks to the extensive local interstate system.
For many visitors who find San Diego vacation rentals, exploring San Diego can be a lot of fun. In fact, some of Southern California’s best attractions are based in the area. San Diego Zoo’s, the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park, Legoland California, the Birch Aquarium, Sea World, and the Wave Waterpark are some of the region’s biggest landmarks and absolute must-sees for any vacation to San Diego. For those who don’t wish to visit some of the area’s theme parks, a simple beach day may be in order. San Diego is home to some of the best sunsets and cleanest strips of white sand beach for sunbathing, surfing, and other water sports.

San Diego Zoo is one of the most popular and famous zoo’s known throughout the world, but if you also wish to see the zoo’s “sister park,” check out the Sand Diego Wild Animal Park. Both attractions are operated by the not-for-profit Zoological Society of San Diego. The Wild Animal Park is a beautiful, expansive 1,800 acre property that is home to more than 3,500 animals of 429 species, including the largest population of rhinos in any zoological facility. The park is also home to one of the only California condor exhibits in the world. All animals live in large habitats designed specifically to mimic their own native habitat rather than in cages or behind glass.
Although the park offers many walking exhibits, similar to what you may see at a zoo, the most popular attraction at the park and by far the best way to see all of the animals living in this 1,800 acre park is by riding the Wild Animal Park’s Photo Caravan Safaris. These safaris take tourists through the numerous designed natural habitats, all of which cannot be accessed by walking. On these safaris you will be able to see the wide expanses of land that make up the Wild Animal Park and you will definitely come up close to animals such as rhinoceroses and giraffes. Some popular special experiences and events you may want to look into include Summer Evenings at the Park, Concert: Rockola, Summer Camp, Dino Mountain, Flighttline, Roar & Snore Sleepovers, and the Rolling Safari Tour-Offroad Segway X2.
