Come join us for a Sunset on the Savanna at Florida’s premier Safari Experience!

You’ll get spectacular close-up encounters with Scimitar-horned oryx (a species that is extinct in the wild), zebra, camels, ring-tailed and red-ruffed lemurs, nilgai, kudu, watusi cattle, and more unique and endangered species in large herds! The Sunset Safari provides an opportunity to see these magnificent animals at a time of day when they are most active.

Each of our customized safari trucks is equipped with stadium seating and a full-coverage canvas shade. Riders will have the opportunity to feed some of the animals from the Safari Truck.

All Sunset Safaris include a stop at our Tree House! This peaceful deck in the middle of our 260-acre preserve provides a 360-degree treetop panoramic view of our wildlife. The Tree House overlooks a gorgeous lake and landscape with roaming herds. While there, guests will have a chance to star gaze on our savanna while enjoying complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. For folks who add on our Nilgai encounter, there will even be an opportunity to interact with and feed the largest antelope in all of Asia!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of animals do you have?

Safari Wilderness has over 450 animals representing over 50 different species. A lot of the animals you find here are ones that zoos are unable to house because they live in such large groups and require lots and lots of space. Because our property consists of 260 acres of pristine wilderness, we're able to house a variety of exotic hoof stock species such as Scimitar-horned oryx (a species that is extinct in the wild), common and Defassa waterbuck, zebra, camels, ring-tailed and red-ruffed lemurs, red lechwe, nilgai, Kudu, watusi cattle, and more! You'll also have a chance to see a variety of native wildlife.

Ratings and Reviews?

Rated by Fodor's International Travel Guide as one of the "Top 10 Safaris in the USA!" Check out our TripAdvisor Page to what our visitors have said about us! Safari Wilderness Ranch is a Florida agritourism project and is accredited by the Zoological Association of America (ZAA) and licensed by the USDA.

Where do your animals come from?

Because we have so much space for our animals, babies are a very common thing! Many of our animals are born onsite. We're accredited by the ZAA (Zoological Association of America), so we often buy, sell, and trade with other accredited facilities.

What should I wear?

Although not required, we recommend close-toed shoes. We go rain or shine, so dress appropriately for the weather.

Can I bring my pet?

We do not allow any unauthorized animals on the premises, which includes our driveway and parking lot. Please leave all dogs, cats, and other furry critters at home.

Will I see every animal during the tour?

Although guides make every effort to encourage our residents to greet our tour groups, you may not see every animal during your time here. Because our property is so large, and most of the animals live in huge pastures as opposed to enclosures, there is no guarantee that you will see every species on the property.

Other things to know

We do not do special pricing for children, infants, seniors, etc.
