Is there dog kennels available in the Safari?

Hi Candice. Yes, we do have dog kennels at the Pine Mountain Safari, Wild Animal Safari. Check in at the ticket building. Hope you have a great visit. www.animalsafari.com.

How ethical is this place? Meaning were the animals healthy, treated well, in nice living conditions, etc.

Seems like it. In the walkabout, each animal had a shaded area so they can hide from the sun. Some even had air conditioned room for them to go inside. They all had little play areas in their cages as well. As far as the actual safari, the animals… more

I used to go here when I was younger. I took my kids for spring break and they loved it just as much as I did years ago!!

Wildly entertaining! I'm glad we did it. The kids had a blast and so did my husband and I! They had a nice assortment of animals and loved that they had lions. The giraffe looked so sad though, lol.

If you live in Georgia and haven't visited the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, GA. This is your sign to go. We had an unforgettable time here. I purchased my tickets in advance and choose to rent one of their vehicles. We arrived and hour early and walked around the walk-about. We checked in and feed the kids and waited for our car to be ready. As we drove through the park, we encountered bisons, emus, zebras, and many more. The highlight of the trip was watching my kids face light up when one of the animals walked over to be feed. Some things I recommend: - use the restroom before your drive - bring water - Rent their vehicles *** - wear gloves to avoid slobber *** - bring clorox wipes to wipe down the chairs and inside of the rental cars before getting inside *** - a camera to capture all the memories

Saw this safari on TikTok and decided to take my little cousins here and it was so much fun !! It was fun interacting with these animals, very unique experience.

Animals

We have been to wild animal safari twice now. Both times have been so much fun. First visit was a few years back. This year we decided it would probably be a good idea to buy a season pass since we hope to visit more often. After this second visit we know for sure we will be back. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even if they didn't know the answer to something they would reach out to someone for an answer for us. The animals were so pleasing to watch and look at. We didn't have enough time to walk around with a little one so we will make sure to give ourself enough time next time and to buy plenty of food for our animal friends I would recommend to anyone.

A Family Hit! We had a blast exploring the wide variety of animals. The price was totally reasonable, and driving through the safari with my family was a highlight. Letting the kids feed the animals was a super cool experience - they absolutely loved it. We're definitely planning a return trip!

wild animal safari columbus ga

Overall, it was a nice outing. I took my kids there a few weeks ago. I was SOOOOO happy I could drive my own car, because those busses and vans looked dirty and HOTTTT (since they didn't have windows)! Lots of deer and bison; limited giraffes. My kids were scared to death of the ostrich that came to our window! I wish we'd bought more good though. Whatever you do.....don't buy the tshirts! I bought a L for me. After 2 washes, its now a S! $24 wasted! And such a cute design! Can't say I'll go back...but, one less thing off my Atlanta-to-do list!

We visited Wild Animal Safari on a school field trip. We had the entire kindergarten class with us - which was about 140 kids + teachers/parents. The plan was where half of the kindergarteners would do the walk through - while the other half did the drive through and then swap while also doing lunch in between. This did not take place - before we could even get done with the walk through we were told we had to rush to the buses to load for the drive through. Mind you - our kindergarteners have lunch around 11:20 it was now 12:30 and they still have not eaten. The drive through takes about an hour+ = but while waiting to take off - we are then told we have to squeeze in so ALL 140 kids could loaded the buses - which meant - no teachers and only some parents. The most unorganized field trip I've ever been on. There was not enough staff to accommodate our group. They were not the friendliest either as there was lack of communication amongst themselves. If we ever come again it 100% would not be on a field trip and I highly doubt our school ever comes either.

Extremely disappointed in this place. We paid $236 for 5 people only to see 80% deer and pigs. The single giraffe and camel are in very small enclosures, the lions exhibit is all but bare and nothing but a glorified dog kennel, the bear and both tigers look beyond stressed out, and every animal except the pigs looks unhealthy. The entire place looks like it has not been kept up with at all. We have been to other safari parks that we enjoy supporting because they are so well kept and the animals seem so happy and healthy. This place is just pitiful. These animals need to be set free or placed where they have some type of quality of life because this place is not it. Even the reptile area is basically empty and the sloths have the smallest enclosure I've ever seen them in. The open area safari is truly all deer and pigs. The walk through area is dirty and smelly and everything needs a pressure washing and painting. I don't know what they are doing with the money they charge for entry, but it's not going into upkeep and healthy animals at all!

Go on a wild animal adventure without ever leaving Georgia

Lions and tigers and — next year — bears. Oh, my!

If you also see lemurs, giraffes, zebras and a host of other creatures, you might be at Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain.

Admission to the park includes both the Drive-Thru Safari and the Walkabout Adventure Zoo.

Drive-Thru Safari

You can enjoy the 2½-mile drive in your own car or by renting a park vehicle if you don’t want to risk damage to your ride.

Along the way, you’ll get upclose and personal with more than 75 species of animals, including American bison, watusi, emus, ostriches, zebras and more.

If you drive your own car, you can explore the safari at your own pace. You are allowed to feed the animals, but only feed you bought at the park for $5.25. “Animal diets are specific and important. We want to avoid giving them anything which may cause them harm,” Wild Animal Safari wrote on its website .

If a bison headbutting your Buick worries you, rent a safari vehicle from the park. Each SUV holds 5-6 people, and drivers must be licensed with valid insurance and be at least 21 years old.

Walkabout Adventure Zoo

When you need to stretch your legs, head over to the Walkabout Adventure Zoo and make friends with peacocks and other exotic birds, lemurs, monkeys and more — 150 species in all.

At the Pavilion, you can feed giraffes. You can buy people food, too, at the nearby food trucks.

The Animal Barn houses a variety of birds and reptiles. There is also a petting zoo, and all exhibits can be explored at your own pace, so take your time getting to know the animals.

The park suffered damage, and lost some animals, during a March tornado, but it is rebuilding in three phases.

Phase One is the reopening of the Drive-Thru Safari, which began April 15, so you can enjoy that right now.

Phase Two is the partial reopening of the Walkabout Adventure Zoo, which should happen later this month. There will be two new exhibits — an aviary featuring macaws and budgie parrots, and the another with ring-tailed Madagascan lemurs — and the expansion of the squirrel monkey and singing dogs of New Guinea habitats.

Phase Three will be the full reopening of the Walkabout, including a reimagined hyena exhibit and enclosures for wolves and bears. The completion of this phase is slated for spring 2024.

As a thank you for supporting the park during its rebuilding, visitors who buy a ticket online and join the mailing list will get ticket to return any weekday from June 15 until the end of September.

You don’t have to travel far to experience hundreds of exotic animals from around the world. Just 50 miles south of Atlanta creatures roam freely throughout this 500 acre park.

Description

Just north of Pine Mountain, GA off Hwy 27 you will encounter one of the most unique experiences of your life. Animals! Exotic animals! LOTS of exotic animals!

An up close and personal adventure!

Wild Animal Safari features two different ways of seeing these exotic animals. The Serengeti Adventure is a 3-mile drive through section where you will have a chance not only to see, but also to feed and touch animals from around the world. Designed to embrace a natural open setting, the drive will bring you face to face with animals such as giraffes, zebras, buffalo, camels, a rhino and many more. You have the choice of touring through in your own vehicle, a rental van, or the guided tour bus (seasonal).

What’s a liger?

Once you have finished the Serengeti Adventure, take a casual stroll through The Walk-About, our walk-through section featuring bears, hyenas, alligators, monkeys, and even ligers. What’s a liger? You’ll have to come and see for yourself.

Your ticket is good for the whole day, so take advantage of the opportunity to see different animals on each trip. Take a break in between trips and visit the Safari Café for a bite to eat and load up on themed and animal related gifts in our gift shop, The Outpost.
