Drive-Thru Safari

Warning: You may be approached by very hungry, very cute traffic.

Feed 400+ animals from your car! As the Midwest’s Original Drive-Thru Safari we are a memory-making adventure your family won’t stop talking about!

Let’s talk snacks—what are we feeding them?

Feeding the animals is the highlight! One free cup of grain per car—but trust us, you’ll want extras. We’ve made it simple with packages that include grain and produce! Produce is the good stuff—and since only guests give it out, you’ll be very popular.

  • Recommended for parties of (1-2 people)
• Six-Cup Package – Four cups of produce and two cups of grain ($36)
  • Recommended for parties of (3-4 people)

Before you hit the safari, here are a few things to know:

• Your safety (and the animals’) comes first—so give this page a quick read to make sure you and your vehicle are ready for the adventure.
• Rain or shine, the safari is open! Just note: our giraffes prefer the good life—they stay out of sight when it’s rainy or below 60°F.
• Last call for the wild! The final vehicle is admitted one hour before park closing.

Sit back, relax, and let us do the driving on our Welcome Wagon Tour through African Safari Wildlife Park’s famous Drive-Thru Safari!
