Well I think it is ridiculous to charge per person for this safari. Come on people! There isn't much to do around here and the Safari Park while wonderful, the per person fee is awful. It should be a $20 or $30 per carload! People would be more likely to visit and visit regularly if it were per car. I went with 4 of my friends and we all purchased tickets and food for the animals and it was over $100! I would love for my son and daughter and grandson to visit but there is no way I can afford to pay $100 for something like this, especially on a regular basis. Does anyone else agree with me? Even at Shelby Farms, when they have drive through events, they only charge $20 per car to drive through. Your business is hurting itself and the people that should be able to visit but can't. read more

What a fun excursion! It was a beautiful day and we had a magnificent time at this super fun safari. We've been to several of these and this one is as good as any other. We got two bags of food and it was plenty. The bags had a lot of food. We fed a lot of animals a lot of food haha. read more

My only suggestion would be to maybe do a per car fee rather than per person, it got expensive quick but I also imagine it can be expensive to care for all the animals. This place was so cool. There's literally no signage. It's not really commercialized trying to sell you a bunch of stuff. It's literally drive up, pay, buy food, drive thru and feed the animals. No frills. Just Easy peasy. There were so many animals and they were all very active. There's also a petting barn where you can get out of your car and see goats, birds and lemurs. People are complaining about the long drive thru or not seeing animals? Well it's not a zoo. It's more of a natural habitat for them. And it was awesome. It's worth doing at least once. We will definitely go back. The zebras and giraffes were my favorite. You can also drive thru as many times as you want so keep that in mind when considering the price. And it's not busy or packed at all. You can take your time. read more

Very cool with the animals coming up to the car. They certainly know that cars mean food! Definitely get a couple of bags of food at registration. read more

The staff is friendly and the animals are so cute! They have a good variety of safari animals and plenty of them are calm and willing to come right up to your car for food! Careful though because some of them will try to take the entire bag of feed from you! My personal favorite was going into the parrot cage and feeding them. read more

We went here on an impromptu visit over Labor Day Weekend. Had no idea what to expect. As we got there late in the day, we learned we would be the last visitors and the park would close soon. This contradicted what the website said. If you have the means, use a pickup truck because it's easier to be in the truck bed and feed the animals than have them stick their heads in your car. Admittedly, I'm conflicted about how I feel about animals in captivity. I think these are slightly better than zoos and our kids had a good time. It might seem a bit pricey - and it is -- but I don't think people realize how much it costs to maintain a place like this. Apparently, if you get there earlier, you can drive the Park multiple times which might make it more worthwhile. In short, this is a once a year or when guests from out of town are visiting, not an every weekend activity. read more

This was such a fun experience! We interacted with most of the animals on the safari (zebras, giraffes, llamas, alpacas, water buffalo, highland cows, ostriches, emus, and a camel). The birds were slightly intense for us, but overall it was such a great time and all of the animals were very sweet. The petting zoo was also really great! read more

Paid over $160 for 6 people and 5 bags of feed. (Children over 13 will pay adult price. Paper bags of feed were $5 each) It was our second time there and not as good as the last time we went. There seemed to be half as many animals as before and we were done driving (very slowly) the entire park in about an hour. The only reason I like this one better than the Tennessee Safari is because of the roaming giraffes. Absolutely loved getting to feed them. Such beautiful creatures. (Pro tip - throw out a bunch of feed for the emus and drive forward a little bit. The giraffes will follow you and you can feed them in peace. We figured that out later. We were trying to keep the emus busy on one side and feeding the giraffes on the other but that meant both giraffes were on one side and it didn't work because they were fighting each other.) Overall, it's an experience you really should do. Go early enough in the day so maybe you can drive thru again to get your money's worth. read more

If you're coming from Memphis like me, let me answer your first question: Should you visit this park or Tennessee Safari Park? I've been to both and it is an easy answer. Tennessee Safari Park. It may be a little longer drive but the animals and experience overall is much, much better. Next question: is this park worth a visit if you're just passing by? Well, it depends on your budget and expectations. It's not cheap. We spent over $100 for the 4 of us. And at the time and day we went, very few animals were eating. They were mostly lounging by the water or under the shade. We tried to shake our bags and get their attention but to no avail. And it's not like they were full from other visitors, because the park was empty. When I had asked the lady at the front if the animals were hungry and how many bags to buy all she would say was "they roam freely". I guess the owners taught her that response. It was 10 am on a Thursday, shortly after they opened. Again empty park. The feed bags were only 1/4 full. At $4 a bag it was quite expensive. Compare that with the Tennessee Safari Park where it's 4 large bowls filled to the brim for only $10. But ya know what, it didn't really matter how full the bags were at the end of the day, because the animals just weren't interested in eating. We bought 6 bags for 4 people and only went through 2. At the end is a very small petting zoo where you can get rid of the rest because the goats there are hungry. Also the birds were hungry for the additional $5 cup of nectar (1 free refill). The one nice thing is there were two giraffes that roamed freely. I don't know if that's always the case because we saw an enclosure saying $5 for giraffe feeding. But on the day we went the giraffes were roaming and we gave them a bunch of food. There's also a camel who is well mannered unlike the Tennessee Safari Park where the camels were aggressive. There's a cheetah in a cage somewhere along the safari drive. We had thought it was near the Petting zoo enclosure but it's not. We missed it during the drive apparently. I can't recommend this place, although I wish I could. But for our visit it was mostly a bunch of driving around looking at a few animals from a distance. read more

This place did not disappoint! It was absolutely fantastic! All of the animals were active, happy, and ready to eat! We went in the morning as soon as it opened, which is probably the best time to go. I would think the animals would be lazy as the day goes on and it gets warmer. We only went through once since we got to pet all the animals. I would definitely recommend it, and we will be back! read more

Great place in the small town of Como MS! We spent around 4hrs here and had an absolute blast. Feeding the giraffe (can buy carrots for $4) is a lot of fun. The drive was amazing. There was way more animals than I expected considering how new this place is. I would advise taking a truck and letting the kids sit in the back. It's what we did and it made it that much better!! read more

I personally think the price wasn't worth it. The food bags were in brown paper bags, which i think is crazy. One of the animals ripped my bag so that was a waste of money. I only had the bag for 5 minutes . There wasn't many animals out and the drive through the park was unnecessary. We drove for like 5 minutes and didn't see not one animal. The park is too big for it not to have a lot of animals. read more

This was a incredible experience for my whole family I feed a zebra and the lamas were so cute and the giraffe feeding was amazing the barn birds were so much fun and took some silly photos thank you guys for being wonderful also all the animals are very well cared for and that's was so great to see too! read more

Omg! Where do I start!? I absolutely love animals of all types! This place gave me a different range of animal/ pets! Of course my family had an incredible time and didn't want to leave! There was a food truck, selling hot dogs and other small dishes inside of the safari park. The park was not overly crowded and it was a perfect adventure during this pandemic!! read more

I'm not sure how they have any negative reviews. We went at 1pm on a Sunday, it wasn't busy, just steady. I was nervous to spend the money and the animals not come up to me but I WAS WRONG! They were all up in our windows!! This is definitely worth the $16 tickets and the $3 bag of food! Make sure you come with napkins because they will definitely slobber all over you! read more

Went in August. 3 adults in a car having a blast! We wide the drive through safari and then the private Sloth tour. The sloth thing was imo too expensive and not worth it. Plan on going again. Just buy double the feed buckets because we ran out . read more

Overall, I'm glad we went but we definitely won't be back (unless prices are lowered). The lines were insane; we tried the weekend before and the line was all the way down the street to even get in so we left and came back earlier the following Saturday. It cost almost $60 for two adults and one child + 3 bags of feed for the animals. A few animals came up to our car to eat out of our hands, which was very cool and almost made the money worth it. Some other visitors wanted to just park and let the animals eat for half an hour at a time, which was a bit inconsiderate to the long line of cars behind them. We tried to visit and feed the giraffes at the end but they were all lying in the grass uninterested in eating, which is obviously the animals' choice. Cool experience but the lines and prices were negatives. read more

We've been here twice now and will be back again. There are lots of animals that will eat right out of your hand. While sometimes you get stuck behind another car for a few minutes the animals are never full and will still come up to you. It's a great place for the whole family. read more

Excellent place if you love animals! They are all great - the ostriches peck like chickens though so the food flies out of your hand! My favs are the Llamas and giraffes - so sweet! read more

I am a huge zoo-goer and this place ROCKS. I give it an 11 out of 10. So very well done. The animals have so much GORGEOUS land to roam freely on. Most of the animals besides some of the smaller monkeys and things of that nature are not in any sort of cage. The property is seriously beautiful and quite massive. It has a beautiful lake when you pull in. This is great for any age and besides the petting barn and giraffe deck, any handicap person could sit in the car and participate without any worries. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

GO GO GO!!!! Had a great time. Was there about 2 hours and 4 bags of feed later. Lol. AWSOME time. People were great.

This was a fun place and I'm glad we went, but it will probably be a one-time thing for us. Be prepared to shell out some cash. It's a bit overpriced imo and they nickel-and-dime you. Between admission, four sacks of feed, 2 cups of nectar for the birds, and 1 cup of carrots for the giraffes, we spent $120 for 4 adults and 2 children. Their website mentioned "grab a bite to eat" (see attached pic), so we expected their to be a restaurant area. Wrong! There wasn't a gift shop either. They had portapotties so if you have littles, be prepared for that. They were typical potties, not disgusting but small. Fortunately we packed snacks for the kids. My 2-year-old and 3-year-old loved it. Don't get me wrong, it was fun and the animals were great, I just wasn't expecting two hours of fun to cost $120. Beware: The lorikeets will basically attack you - not really my thing - but you have to pay $5 to even go in there with them (for the nectar). And of course the ostriches were aggressive but I expected that. Overall it was a fun experience, but now it's a "been there, done that" kind of thing. read more

One piece of advise, do not drive your good expensive vehicle through the park. There is a mountain goat that loves to jump up on your car or SUV. I drove my 2017 black tahoe and this goat scratched my left passenger door. When I took my tahoe to a body shop I found that the repairs were going to cost me more than $500. So drive an older vehicle through the park. read more

This park is absolutely wonderful. Even if you don't like animals it is lots of fun just to drive thru and see them up close. I was raised in the city and never had pets and when we went to the zoo we saw animals from a distance. we laughed until our stomach hurt. I wish we had come earlier to experience the petting barn. We will defintely come back. read more

Super fun place to visit! My girls (ages 3 and 5) really enjoyed the park. Definitely buy the bag of feed! Be aware that the only restrooms are portable potties! read more

We had a great time! They have giraffes that come up to the car which was awesome! They are so gentle. Those Ostrich though are crazy! lol! They do have port-a-potty's but they are very clean and do not stink. Just wish they would get buckets to feed the animals instead of sacks. It is worth the trip! We had a blast!!! read more

This place is really neat and a much needed addition to North MS. However, because I've been to another Safari Park elsewhere I'm giving this one 3 stars in comparison. Prices at this time are $16/$12 for adult/children and $3 for feed for the animals. Some of the things I enjoyed included being able to see animals such as buffalo, ostriches, and giraffes and having the option to drive through the safari more than once. However, for the pricing, I was not impressed. The majority of the park was land. In fact, the last 10-15 minutes of the stretch, my family saw nothing but land. There are buffalo, llamas, ostriches, a few zebras, some giraffes and a few other animals, but we went for the experience of seeing the animals up close and getting to feed them. The feed is only good for the llamas, ostriches and giraffes. The camels and zebras were locked in fences pretty far off. Personally, we would have been better off (and cheaper) to go to the zoo to see the same thing. It's pretty new, so all they have are porti-potties, so keep this in mind if you have little ones. If you've never experienced a safari park, sure go. But next time, I think I'll go to the zoo or make the 2 hour trip to the other one. read more

if i could give it a zero i would. only 3 animals canand it was way overpriced for that it sucks. DONT WASTE UR MONEY

We had a great time with the animals and the staff. Even our teenagers loved being able to feed and pet the animals. You can purchase carrots to feed to the female giraffes from a deck next to their enclosure near the front gate. Elsa, one of the three giraffes, is so calm and tame. They have camel rides and an enclosed area where you can feed goats and lambs. There are also two lemurs (Megan and Anthony) in the enclosure. Make sure you purchase enough bags of food to feed the animals on your adventure through the safari. The lamas and donkeys are great, but the ostriches will have you laughing so much that you will be crying. We live in St. Louis near the zoo, Grants Farm, Lone Elk Park, and numerous other animal parks, however, the 5 hour drive to Como was well worth the trip. Great family memories. We can't wait to go next year. read more
