safari parks

Drive-through animal reserves

Safari parks are wildlife reserves where visitors drive through enclosures to observe animals roaming in open, naturalistic habitats rather than cages.

Unlike traditional zoos, the animals move freely while humans remain confined to vehicles: We watched lions lounging just feet from our car at the safari park.

Most feature African wildlife—elephants, giraffes, zebras—though the parks exist worldwide.
