Safary Park in the Pine Mountain Forest 500 acres_Atlanta Canada

IT"S A JUNGLE IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD!!!

One of the area's most popular attractions, Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari, offers a unique experience. Visitors can see, touch, and feed hundreds of exotic animals - a true worldwide safari!

Visitors can ride through the park, observe, take pictures and feed the animals from their car,one of our Zebra Vans or the guided tour bus (seasonal). There are few parks like this in the country, so you are in for an experience!

When you visit us, you can spend your entire day exploring our wildlife preserve that offers habitats encompassing the plains, swamps, deserts, mountains and forests of the world. You will come face to face with animals from six continents! Our park has animals from every continent except Antarctica and has nearly twice as many animals as the Atlanta Zoo! We even have a large display of Ligers (half tiger/half lion). Visitors can ride through the park, observe, take pictures and feed the animals from their car or one of our Zebra Vans. There are few parks like this in this part of the country (three that we know of), so you are in for an experience!

This year as we celebrate our 18th anniversary, we are grateful for our remarkable growth and success due to the support from our many visitors. In the 2008 season, we had thousands of guests, many of which were on field trips. It was a delight for our staff to witness the wonders of children seeing many of these animals for the first time in their lives. It is so much fun to watch kid's reactions when a buffalo slobbers over them! The giggles and laughs we hear are why we do this day in and day out! So for those of you returning to our park, thanks for booming back and for those of you new to the experience, we hope you enjoyed yourself and can't wait to see you again!

Perhaps our biggest news for 2009 is that we are now part of Parks! America, Inc. Parks! America is a national company focused on developing regional theme parks in the U.S. Now more than ever, we are committed to our mission of offering an exciting, fun, educational experience for you and your family. We are very excited about the additional exhibits and improvements that are taking shape on behalf of our visitors and our beloved animals.

While you are here, please share with us any comments or suggestions. We are always striving to make Wild Animal Safari an enriching environment for our animals and visitors alike. We look forward to hearing from you!

Wild Animal Safari cares about our world and the animals that inhabit it. It seems that every day we hear another horror story about the abuse of our sacred land and the devastation this causes to our beloved animals that call our forests, deserts and plains homes. From poaching in Africa, to the demolition of the rain forests, we at Wild Animal Safari wish to remain focused on providing a safe place where our animals can roam free. We want to take this opportunity to educate you on the threat that many animals face of extinction on our planet. Some of the animals that call Wild Animal Safari home are becoming dangerously rare in the world.

An Endangered Species* is defined as: animals, birds, fish, plants or other living organisms threatened with extinction by anthropogenic (man-caused) or other natural changes in their environment. We have several animals that fall into this category: Siberian Tiger, Water Buffalo, Bactrian Camel, and Banteng.

A Vulnerable Species* is defined as a species that faces a high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. Our animals falling into this category include: Lion, Ring-tailed Lemur, Aoudad, Blackbuck Antelope, and Gaur.

A Conservation Dependent Species* is defined as a species that is the focus of a conservation program.

If the program is stopped, the species would qualify for one of the threatened categories within 5 years. Wild Animal Safari has Southern White Rhino, Spotted Hyena and Nilgai.
