Spring Break Day 2: Wild Animal Safari Park

Our main reason for going to Georgia over spring break was to see the Wild Animal Safari Park in Pine Mountain, GA. I had heard about this drive thru safari park from a fellow coworker a few years ago and we decided to go check it out. We stayed in LaGrange, GA because there isn't much in Pine Mountain besides the safari park. We all enjoyed our trip to the safari and I honestly think Kevin enjoyed it better than the girls. :0) It was fun to see all the animals and we did a lot of laughing. You have a 3.5 mile loop that you drive thru and can feed the animals. Then you have a place to park where you can walk through a zoo like atmosphere to view more animals. We also ate lunch there and of course there is a gift shop. If you are passing through Georgia sometime, I would encourage you to go.

You can either rent a van to drive through the park or you can drive your own vehicle. We chose to drive our own vehicle because we could drive around as many times as we wanted and we did that 3 times. If you rented a van you could only drive around once. It took about an hour the first time to drive around the loop.

Alexis loved the pigs for some reason. And there were a lot of pigs and baby pigs too.

This animal friend really liked Kevin. He followed us a lot.

Bison: Kevin did get a little nervous about his truck when these guys starting approaching us.

Water Buffalo

The ostrich was fun to watch it prancing down the road.

Camels were in a fence because the sign read "don't feed me because I bite".

Madalyn loves zebras but sometimes she was unsure about it sticking it's head in the car window. :0)

The zebras might look like they are trying to bite, but they aren't, they just want food. 

The lions were also in a cage because their sign read " don't feed, I bite".

Elk

 Big Horn Sheep

After driving through the safari, we got out to do the walk thru animal park.

There were many animals to see on the walk thru; however several of my pictures didn't turn out too well because of the sun or them being in cages.

Peacocks were everywhere and boy are they loud.

There was a reptile house with lizards, snakes, a hedgehog, and a sloth in it.

Sloth

I was amazed at how big the gray wolf was. I had not ever seen one in person.

Alexis loved any of the baby animals, especially this baby goat.

I was also amazed at how big a hyena really is.

The tiger was enjoying his nap.
