Have been there twice. I definitely recommend you do the driving portion first. The animals will more active and hungry. The lions are impressive, and being able to see them up close through the glass tunnel is a bit of a humbling experience. They feed the lions at certain times. So if you want to get some decent photos get a good spot early on. It gets crowded fast! The pool area is a nice refreshing break, especially fif you have kids and it's a hot day.
