"We’ll pitch our tents near the Rare Rhinos exhibit and enjoy animal encounters, a fire pit and evening snack, and an after dark tour of the Zoo," shares the Great Plains Zoo, adding that after a good night of sleep, guests will be treated to breakfast and even more encounters with the "ambassador animals."
