Safari in Ohio?  You Bet!

Cherry Valley Lodge and The Wilds Team Up

Cherry Valley Lodge announced today that the resort-style hotel is working with The Wilds to offer guests an unforgettable Safari Package. Located just 30 miles from Cherry Valley Lodge in Muskingum County, Ohio, The Wilds is the only wildlife conservation facility of its kind in North America, where giraffe, rhinoceros and bison all roam free.

This five-day, four-night package is scheduled for September 20, 2004. The Safari gives adventure lovers the opportunity to experience rare and endangered animals from throughout Africa, Asia and North America roaming free in a natural habitat on nearly 9,200 acres in the hills of Ohio. Guests will camp two nights among the animals of The Wilds in authentic Yurts and also enjoy two nights of luxury at Cherry Valley Lodge.

The Adventure Safari package is $1,250 per person and includes four nights of accommodations, meals and a variety of safari activities. Guests will experience bird watching, rappelling, a night hike and other outdoor adventures.

“This Adventure Safari allows visitors to feel like they’ve traveled to an exotic, far-away destination while staying in the United States,” said Cherry Valley Lodge General Manager Becky Miller. “Our Safari package introduces guests to highly unusual activities and sights that they would normally have to travel thousands of miles to find. Yet, we make it easy and affordable for them to experience this right here in the Midwest.”

Before and after the Adventure Safari, guests will enjoy all the amenities of Cherry Valley Lodge, a one-of-a-kind, 200-room resort-style lodge located in Licking County, Ohio, 25 miles east of Columbus. Interior design features a dramatic soaring lobby with towering twin stone fireplaces. Two beautifully landscaped central courtyards are among the many outdoor features of this 18-acre property, the nation’s only hotel to be designated an official Arboretum and Botanical Garden by the American Association for Arboreta and Botanical Gardens. Visitors also enjoy indoor and outdoor pools, a game room and unusually large guestrooms with luxurious appointments. Reservations and consumer information are available (800) 788-8008 or online at www.cherryvalleylodge.com.
