360 experience. Ambulance Wish South Australia, in partnership with Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network, made a special wish come true, creating memories that will last forever for Naomi and her loved ones.Naomi travelled to Monarto Safari Park in the Wish Ambulance, where she met up with her mother and son before beginning their Lion 360 experience. Together, they made their way into the lion exhibit and settled inside the viewing dome, awaiting the arrival of the lions.
Naomi’s smile grew as the lions approached the dome, eating, playing and climbing all around them. The Monarto Safari Park team commented that “the lions definitely put on a show for Naomi today”, making the experience even more special.
During the Wish, other members of Naomi’s family were invited to join them inside the dome, allowing everyone to share the moment together
and capture some family photos.
Surrounded by her family, Naomi was overwhelmed with emotion and grateful for the opportunity to experience such a special day together.
