Safari park in alabama9/20/2023 They even have Scottish Highlander coos! Unfortunately, the coos were hiding somewhere in the shade when we visited the first time so I don’t have pics to share inside my Outlander fan groups. I have never been this close to a zebra before but it was a crazy awesome experience. They are so sweet and just beautiful animals. The water buffalo were way more interested in the grass than my bucket of processed pellets.īut the ZEBRAS?!?!! OH MY GOODNESS THEY ARE AMAZING!! There are lots of animals that hang out in the shade and don’t come to your car no matter how much coaxing you offer them. Here are the Watusi- check out the horns on this guy! There were African animals I have never even heard of until this trip. There were more “common” animals like llamas and camels and emus, but there were also exotic animals like zebras and gazelles and watusi cattle. I have never heard Caroline belly laugh this hard in her entire life! THIS is what it’s all about, right here: We laughed our heads off at these crazy animal antics. Luckily there was nobody waiting in line to get inside behind us so we were able to take it all in without feeling rushed. I’ve seen that episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe gets attacked by the ostrich. And there was an angry ostrich who I refused to roll down the window for. Ok, not literally attacked, but a camel did try to chew my rear-view mirror off at one point. We stopped at the store and bought two buckets of animal feed, then proceeded to get attacked by animals of every variety as soon as we crossed through the front gate. And the emus totally reminded me of velociraptors, so brace yourselves for an adventure. It was that much fun!ĭriving through the entrance gate reminded me of a certain movie that didn’t end well for some of the main characters. And honestly, after our trip through the Safari park, we almost totally forgot about the Old Alabama Town experience when we got home. Garrett and I visited on a whim after we took a trip to Old Alabama Town in Montgomery a few weeks back. The Alabama Safari Park recently opened to the public, and if you are anywhere within an easy drive it is totally worth the trip. You don’t have to go to Africa to experience these majestic animals in person. We did all that and more a few weeks back, and we never left the state of Alabama.Ībout 20 minutes south of Montgomery just off I-65 at the Hope Hull exit #158 sits one of the best adventures that Alabama has to offer. Have you ever been up-close to the spiral horns of gazelle or petted a pack of zebras on their heads? Have you ever had to stop and wait for a flock of baby emus to cross the road? I’ve added pics from our second trip since they were so much fun! Updated: I wrote this post in June 2018 but we visited Alabama Safari Park for the second time on July 6th, 2018 and got to experience it all again with my mom and Caroline.
