Summer in Florida means blazing sun, crystal-clear skies and temperatures that’ll have you craving some serious A/C. But don’t sweat it—Wild Florida Drive-thru Safari Park has you covered!
Enjoy a wild day out under the sunny Florida skies as you cruise through a sprawling safari filled with incredible animals from around the world. And the best part? You get to stay cool and comfy in your own car for the entire adventure!
Explore Florida’s Wild Side
Just a short drive from Orlando, our self-guided safari takes you across 170 acres of natural Florida wilderness. This self-guided adventure lets you stay cool in your own car as you drive a four-mile trail designed for discovery.
Our Drive-thru Safari Park takes you across the globe without ever leaving your car! The area is designed to mimic the natural habits of these animals. So with all that open space, you’ll get to see exotic animals behaving just like they would in the wild.
Insider Tip: Your admission lets you loop the safari trail as many times as you’d like in one day. Take your time, snap some silly selfies and enjoy every wild moment! If the animals feel shy on your first go, swing by the Gator Park for a bit, then circle back for another drive.
Meet Our Furry Residents
Our 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 our safari animals for a truly wild experience!
At the end of your safari, don’t miss the chance to feed Leroy, our 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.
Cool Tips for a Hot Safari Day
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 our Gator Park. Admission to the Gator Park is included with your safari ticket! Grab a signature Swamp Slushy to cool off, then sip and stroll as you explore over 200 incredible animals from around the world.
Keep the Adventure Going
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.
