Harry Connick, Jr. took a break from filming "Dolphin Tale" in nearby Clearwater, FL to go on safari with family and friends during a visit to Busch Gardens Tampa on Saturday, Nov. 20. Connick ventured out on the parks’ 65-acre Serengeti Plain to hand feed giraffes and get up-close views of rhinos and other African animals.

Last month, “The Rockin’ Chefs of Busch Gardens” competed in the Fourth Annual Tampa Bay Premier Iron Chef Challenge to benefit All Children’s Hospital.
