Lion Country Safari

If you've had dreams of getting within arm’s length of various animal species from around the world, this is the place. The drive-thru tour of the park is done in your own vehicle unless it does not meet certain standards. If this is the case you can use a Jeep on site. The park is divided into seven sections, each representing different parts of the world. Each section contains a variety of animals that are all highly visible. Lions, rhinos, zebras, giraffes and other species walk within feet of your vehicle. This is a must-see for any visitor to this area who enjoys wildlife.

Our visit to Safari World was cut short by weather. After spending a good part of the day driving through the safari, drizzle turned to rain as we began the walk-thru portion of Lion Country Safari. Safari World is set up like a small zoo with several types of animals. Several species of monkeys can be seen, as well as various bird species. A walk-thru of Safari World is worth taking, and free after admission to the drive-thru safari. This portion of the park doesn't compare to driving through the preserve, but you will see even more of a variety of animals and get just as close to many of them.
