We attended the Seminole owned Billie's Swamp Sarafi. The Indians have been making lots of money from their
gambling enterprises and have built up the attractions business to give employment to their younger people as
well as inform the general public about their culture and heritage. How they survived and prospered in the
everglades for so many generations is amazing. We used to go for one week survival hikes in the boy scouts
and it is hard to imagine them living there. The everglade swamp Sarafi consist of and air boat ride, a swamp
buggy ride, many exhibits of native and introduced species, schooling exhibits on how they survived in the wilds,
movie, restaurant, and many other exhibits. We were there all day and didn't see it all.

These water buffalo were introduced into the park and have survived for generations.
Lots of gators around in the park for yankees to owwwwe and ahhhhhh

About 80% have to be harvested each year to maintain a static
