Discover more about Alabama Safari Park

The Alabama Safari Park, situated in Hope Hull, Alabama, offers a distinctive and memorable wildlife adventure across its sprawling 350 acres. Unlike traditional zoos, this park invites visitors to embark on a self-guided drive-through safari, bringing them face-to-face with over 500 animals from around the world in a natural and immersive setting. Founded in 2018 by Eric Mogensen, CEO of Zoofari Parks, the Alabama Safari Park is committed to animal well-being and conservation. Mogensen's vision was to create a space where animals could roam freely in a habitat that closely mimics their native environments, while also providing visitors with an engaging and educational experience. The park actively participates in over 30 Species Survival Plans, contributing to the preservation of endangered species and promoting healthy animal populations. The heart of the Alabama Safari Park is its 3-mile drive-through safari. As you navigate the winding gravel road in your own vehicle, you'll encounter a diverse array of animals, including zebras, llamas, bison, wildebeest, gazelles, and more. Buckets of animal feed are available for purchase, allowing you to hand-feed these gentle giants through your car window. The experience is both thrilling and educational, offering a unique opportunity to observe animal behavior up close and learn about their natural habitats. Beyond the drive-through safari, the Alabama Safari Park offers a variety of other attractions and activities. The Village Walk-Thru provides a chance to stretch your legs and explore exhibits featuring lemurs, kangaroos, and other fascinating creatures. The Budgie Adventure Aviary allows you to hand-feed colorful parakeets, while the Giraffe Feeding Tower offers an eye-to-eye encounter with these majestic animals. For an even more intimate experience, consider booking a behind-the-scenes sloth encounter. The park also has a petting area with goats, potbellied pigs and baby llamas.
