Wild Animal Safari transports you from the Missouri Ozarks to the savanna and beyond in one unforgettable outing. Roll down your window on the five-mile drive-thru trail and hand-feed zebras, llamas, or a gentle bison, then explor...
This drive-through safari creates those up-close animal moments that visitors rave about long after leaving. Guests consistently highlight the interactive feeding experiences, where zebras, giraffes, and other animals approach your vehicle for treats. The special animal encounters, particularly with sloths and capybaras, earn enthusiastic praise, with staff members going out of their way to make these experiences memorable. Many recommend taking the guided bus tour rather than driving your own car, as the knowledgeable guides share interesting information while you relax and enjoy the animals without worrying about your vehicle getting scratched or slobbered on. The animals appear healthy and well-cared-for, and the staff consistently receives compliments for being friendly and genuinely invested in the animals' welfare. Families find it perfect for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. A few reviewers mention that tiger and lion enclosures feel small compared to the generous space given to other animals, and bathroom cleanliness can be inconsistent during busy times. The afternoon sloth encounters may disappoint since these animals are naturally less active later in the day. Still, the overwhelming sentiment is that this makes for a thrilling, interactive experience that creates lasting memories, especially for first-time visitors to this type of attraction.
We could not have had a better day today than we did with the animals and staff at Wild Animal Safari. The park personnel are all phenomenal but the wonderful lady working near the giraffes educated us and really went above and beyond.
