Their website says there isn't, and a google search shows nothing as well. But I just want to confirm. This would be a dream job and I'm rattled that I can't even try to get an interview b/c the lack of transportation.

You really need your own transportation to get out there. Sometimes people car pool but no GRT goes out there.

African Lion Safari is in the middle of nowhere. You're SOL.

Ok if you are really adventrous you could take the coach canada going to cambridge/kitchener and get off at safari road or what ever is the closest flag stop and bike/walk the rest of the way. If you really want to show commitment. I am sure once you start working you will be able to carpool for gas money.

I've also heard it's a super shit place to work, so maybe they're doing you a favour.

Eh, I dunno. I've worked at Tim Hortons and Walmart...

ALS sounds dreamy. Especially if I got to be a tourguide. It just sounds like a sweet gig.

Some of my friends worked there in high school and they said the management is icky. That was awhile ago though, so things may have changed. I just remember hearing them complain a lot.

Hehe, maybe, but I still don't think anything compares to working at timmie's when you're 15 and being called "****ing retarded" (among other things) on a daily basis on the front line.

I LOVED that job.

Once you get off the highway its at least another twenty minutes drive down some backroads before you reach the gates of the park...that would be well over an hour's walk...
