Why Go On a Drive-Thru Safari?

Millions of travelers come to the Sunshine State for its year-round warm weather. While soaking up the sun on the beach is a classic choice, visiting Florida can also mean facing some serious heat. That’s why our Drive-thru Safari Park offers a unique way to experience and learn about wildlife—all from the comfort of your vehicle, without breaking a sweat!

Wild Florida’s Drive-thru Safari Park lets you cruise through 170 acres of open landscapes, home to over 150 animals from across the globe. As striped zebras graze, massive bison roam, and the elegant oryx catches your eye, every moment brings a new surprise to discover.

And the best part? You can drive through as many times as you want! Take your time soaking in the sights, snapping photos that’ll make your friends jealous, and watching these beautiful animals in their natural habitats.

Meet The Animals: Exotic and Native Wildlife

Wild Florida’s Drive-thru Safari Park is home to an impressive variety of animals, featuring both exotic creatures from around the world and native North American wildlife. As you navigate the safari, you’ll have the chance to encounter:

North American & Florida Animals:

  • American bison
  • Elk
  • White-tailed deer
  • American alligators 

Exotic Animals from Across the Globe:

  • Zebras 
  • Camels
  • Antelope

But that’s just the beginning—there’s a whole world of wildlife waiting to be discovered! Each visit offers a unique experience, as animals roam freely throughout the safari, interacting with their environment in different ways. You might spot a herd grazing in the grasslands, catch a glimpse of a deer darting through the trees, or even see some cooling off in the lakes. Keep your eyes peeled because you never know who might cross your path next!

Experience Wildlife in Their Natural Habitats

As you journey through Wild Florida’s Drive-thru Safari Park, you’ll witness animals roaming freely across vast, open landscapes, just as they would in the wild. With no cages or barriers, this safari experience allows you to see animals thriving in carefully designed habitats that mimic their natural environments.

White-tailed deer move gracefully through shady cypress forests while bison and elk roam across wide, open fields. Each habitat is designed to provide the space, food sources, and surroundings that these animals need to feel at home. Our dedicated Safari Keepers work hard to ensure every animal is healthy, happy, and thriving in their natural environment.

Giraffe Encounter: Feed a Gentle Giant

The Giraffe Feeding Encounter is one of the most unforgettable experiences at Wild Florida. When purchasing your Drive-thru Safari Park ticket, you can add this special experience and come face-to-face with these towering beauties.

At the end of your safari, you’ll arrive at the giraffe feeding platform, where you’ll meet Leroy, our tallest resident, and his graceful friends. Watch as they stretch their long necks and use their surprisingly purple tongues to grab leafy greens right from your hands. 

You’ll soon fall in love with their big brown eyes and calm nature. Plus, it’s the perfect chance to snap a photo and create a memory you’ll never forget! This is a must-do for families, animal lovers, and anyone who wants an up-close look at one of nature’s most fascinating creatures.
