Balwarte ni Vossing

On the way to Cebu Safari Park is Balwarte ni Vossing, a food station offering coffee, food, and alcoholic drinks in a container van. It is located by the side of the road in the Deer Forest area, so it is hard to miss. Its soft opening on December 2020 was heavily hyped in social media because of the picture-worthy backdrop: pine trees and the occasional fog if you’re lucky to chance upon it.

They have two sitting options (all plastic chairs and tables): first one is at the roof of the container van, and the other one is at the back.

Just a caveat to everyone: They only cater to 50 percent of the capacity in compliance with the Inter Agency Task Force (IATF) safety protocols.

For those who are planning to visit the place, expect delays in their services as there is always a crowd due to social media hype, and waiting time is estimated to be about 20 minutes. They are still working for the expansion of the place.
