Take A Ride On The Wild Side At An African Safari Wildlife Park

Have you ever wanted to go on an African Safari but realized the economics just won’t make it? There are many people here in the United States who feel the same way. So several intelligent heads got together and decided to work on an international animal exchange. Before long several African safari wildlife parks were born.

Animals from Africa, Asia and South America are all imported to ‘wildly’ hilly African terrain in several places around the United States. An African safari wildlife park here in the United States is 100 acres of wild animals roaming the land. A road is built right through this animal habitat and your African safari is built. Instead of riding elephants, camels or jeeps, you are simply riding in your car with your family. A very slow caravan of automobiles will take you through the land of the Lion King.

Any type of camera will work as the animals at an African safari wildlife park are not camera shy. These animals are a little different in that none of them are man-eating and they are all cared for by an experienced and knowledgeable park staff. In these African safari wildlife parks you cannot get out of your car. But the excitement abounds when the first animal comes within two feet of your car.

The Animals

An African safari wildlife park here in the U.S. will house hundreds of rare and endangered animals from all around the work. Most of these wild animals will roam free in their natural habitat. These parks focus on conservation and breeding efforts of endangered species. Many of the African safari wildlife parks focus on alpaca, white zebras, giraffe and giant eland.

You are given a tub of animal treats before you begin your tour and if you are lucky enough, you can feed them right at the window of your car. There’s something special about a group of monkeys hanging over your windshield and swinging on the side mirrors of your car. African safari wildlife parks make special memories for the children in your family. It also may be the only time they can interact with wild animals face to face.

Most of the African safari wildlife parks also have safari walk through attractions. These may include pig races, warthog playtime, camel and pony rides and snake handling. The educational programs at an African safari wildlife park are exceptional. Part of the conservation effort is to educate children and adults on each and every one of these wild animals. Wild animals are becoming more extinct as time rolls on. We all need to learn about their natural habitats and try to help preserve these beautiful animals.
