Embark on a thrilling guided safari drive through the open savanna, where you’ll ride alongside free roaming exotic animals such as zebras, giraffes, rhinos, antelopes, bongos and more. Experience the excitement of getting closer than ever before to giraffes and rhinos during an “animal encounter” led by knowledgeable keepers. Throughout your visit, the park’s adorable animal ambassadors and fun guides will keep you engaged and entertained.

Beyond providing an immersive safari experience for visitors, Georgia Safari Conservation Park is dedicated to wildlife preservation, education, and creating meaningful animal engagements.
