A place like no other near Tampa in Florida
If you’re longing for an international safari adventure but have a limited budget for domestic travel, Safari Wilderness in Lakeland, Florida, is the perfect destination for you. Spanning over 260 acres, this extraordinary safari park is home to a variety of exotic animals including cheetahs, zebras, and ring-tailed lemurs. There are multiple ways to explore the park and get up close to the wildlife. You can drive through the park in your own vehicle, ride an all-terrain vehicle or a camel, paddle through the waters in a kayak, or hop on the park’s safari truck. For a unique experience, you can even stay overnight in one of their safari “glamping tents” surrounded by the park’s incredible flora and fauna. If you’re looking to enhance your visit, you have the option to purchase add-ons such as feeding ring-tailed lemurs or enjoying a close encounter with a cheetah.
