FAQs

What kind of animals will I see on the safari?

Giraffe Ranch is home to over 450 animals representing 50+ species. Expect to see giraffes, zebras, camels, pygmy hippos, warthogs, lemurs, watusi cattle, and more! Native Florida wildlife is also often spotted along the way.

Which tour time is best for animal viewing?

All of our tour times offer excellent opportunities to view the animals! The species here thrive in Florida’s climate and are active throughout the day.

Where do the animals come from?

Most of our animals are born right here at Giraffe Ranch. We also work with other licensed facilities through ethical buying, selling, and trading programs.

Can I bring my pet with me?

No pets are allowed on the premises, including in your vehicle or the parking lot. Please leave them safely at home.

Will I see every animal during my tour?

While we have a wide variety of animals, we cannot guarantee sightings of every species. Our animals live in large pastures, not traditional enclosures, giving them room to roam freely.
