Wild Florida's Drive-thru Safari Park is home to over 150 native and exotic animals, all freely roaming across wide-open spaces that mimic their natural habitats.
As you explore, keep an eye out for some of our most popular residents:
Reticulated Giraffe
American Bison
Highland Cows
Dromedary Camels
And that’s just the start! From antelopes to zebras and everything in between, every turn of the trail brings a new surprise. Upgrade with a VIP Safari Tour and get exclusive access to hand-feed some of the safari animals for a truly wild experience!

At the end of your safari, don’t miss the chance to feed Leroy, the tallest and friendliest giraffe. We guarantee you’ll be grinning from ear to ear as he gently grabs lettuce from your hand with his long, purple tongue.
Want to make the most of your safari while staying cool? Plan your visit for the morning or late afternoon when the animals are most active and the Florida heat is a little easier to handle. You’ll have a better chance of spotting more animals in action while enjoying a more comfortable ride.
When you’re ready for a refreshing break, head over to the Chomp House Grill inside the Gator Park. Admission to the Gator Park is included with your safari ticket! Explore over 200 incredible animals from around the world here!

Kick your day up a notch with an epic airboat ride through the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades! After your drive-thru safari, hop aboard one of our U.S. Coast Guard-certified airboats and glide across acres of untouched wetlands.
Feel the breeze in your hair (and the cool spray on your face!) as you zip through cypress trees and open marshes, spotting alligators, wading birds and other native Florida wildlife along the way. It’s the perfect way to cool off and experience Florida the way it was meant to be: wild and free.
This summer, escape the heat in the most exciting way possible. Book your adventure and see why Wild Florida Drive-thru Safari Park is the coolest way to experience wildlife!
