Lakeland, FL
A working safari ranch offering open-air wildlife tours across a 260-acre Florida preserve, with free-roaming exotic animals, guided vehicle experiences, and opportunities to feed selected species along the route.
Safari Wilderness is a 260-acre wildlife ranch in central Florida designed around guided safari experiences rather than traditional zoo exhibits. Guests explore the property in open-air vehicles while guides introduce the animals and landscape, with wildlife roaming through large pasture and wooded areas. The ranch's collection includes exotic species such as antelope, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and water buffalo, creating a distinctly open-range setting.
Several tour formats provide different ways to experience the property, including safari vehicles, camel expeditions, and kayak-based wildlife viewing. Feeding experiences are also available for selected animals, adding a more interactive element to the guided tours. Because the experience takes place across a working ranch landscape, the visit feels more like a wildlife expedition than a conventional walk-through zoo. Safari Wilderness is particularly suited to travelers who enjoy guided outdoor experiences, open-air wildlife viewing, and seeing large animals in spacious surroundings rather than moving between enclosed exhibits.
