Travel - Safari Parks

A vacation to a safari park is much like a trip to a zoo, except so much bigger and better. There are no cages. The animals live in natural habitats, and the visitors drive their own vehicles through the safari park or take transportation provided by the park.

The interaction between safari park visitors and the animals in the park can be up close and personal. Sometimes the animals seem to think that the visitors are there for them to inspect, and they will come right up to the vehicle for a closer inspection of the strange creatures (humans).

The animals in most safari parks are the ones that you would expect to find antelope, lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, and zebras. If you look closely, you will see many other species as well.

There are safari parks all over the world. Because Africa is the natural habitat for so many of the wild animals that we are all familiar with, there are more safari parks there than in any other country in the world. There are at least 14 safari parks in Africa and possibly more.

But you don’t have to go to Africa to visit a safari park. There are at least six safari parks in the United States. Some of the larger safari parks you will find in the USA are:

Florida: Loxahatchee (Lion Country Safari)

California: Irvine (Lion Country Safari); San Diego (San Diego Wild Animal Park)

Texas: Grand Prairie (Lion Country Safari)

Oregon: Winston (Wildlife Safari)

Additionally, there are safari parks in many countries around the world England, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and Mexico, for example.

Safari parks are the destination of travelers around the world. We are fascinated by the wild animals of the world, we always have been, and we always will be.
