The Safari Experience
In the Safari, you'll be able to see animals run and frolic with abandon on our 350-acre property. The animals are free to roam! Drive your vehicle over three miles of maintained gravel road and make unforgettable memories as you feed a llama, gaze at a gazelle, and admire the stripes of a zebra! All of this and more is in store at the Alabama Safari Park. Visit the South’s newest attraction and enjoy a day full of laughter and excitement. But don't be in a hurry, the animals often block your path...or lay flat-out in the sun...the choice is theirs!
Extra
Experience a Budgie Adventure! Walk into our special free flight aviary and let the adventure begin! Feed hundreds of gentle, colorful birds as they perch on your hand.
Feeding a giraffe is the highlight of any safari trip! Get up close to these amazing animals and even feel their tongues as they take romaine leaves from your palm.
Adventure Tips
Drive Slowly for Safety and Animal Viewing
Animals often rest or cross the road—keep lapses slow to avoid startling them and to enjoy better photo ops.
Bring Romane Lettuce for Giraffe Feeding
Though food is available inside, bringing extra romaine lettuce ensures you don’t miss feeding the giraffes up close.
Wear Comfortable Shoes for Budgie Adventure
The aviary requires walking; closed-toe shoes protect your feet from uneven ground and curious birds.
Use Window Mesh or Open Windows Carefully
Keep windows partially open or use mesh to safely feed animals without risking escapes or sudden movements.
