We had a great time riding through feeding the animals! My granddaughter was so surprised and happy to have the animals at the car! She also was excited on the walk about trail! We did order a chicken tenders meal at the restaurant and it was really good! They have twisted fries that are delicious! My granddaughter and I both ate off the plate it was that much! Great adventure for the family and schools! Down side be careful of purchases at the gift shop . Its over priced and they may or may not work! We purchased a $9.00 bubble giraffe gun it did not work and when I called they stated to bring it back with receipt for refund! I live over an hour away and it's an inconvenience they didn't care to be courteous to provide a refund automatically. Please check your items before you leave!! read more

My 2 year old, myself, & my MIL had a great time here. Plenty of animals and great scenery. Our bus driver Paul was very kind and informative, he even carried extra food for kids who ran out. Their walk-around zoo area was also a great experience & included with the purchase of the safari tour. We'd love to visit again! read more

It was HOT! We rented one of their vans- highly recommend this as the black bucks bashed their horns on the side asking for food. The van seats were all duct taped and the gear shifter worked but the indicator on the dash didn't so you got to guess whether you were in reverse. No AC either. There were only 2 of us but we went ahead and paid the 10$ extra for the 12 person van because it was available right away. BUT - we had the best time. Sweating and laughing at the emus who tried to eat our hands - they warn you not to hand feed them. I would recommend this for anyone. Hilarious times. The restaurant had surprisingly good food afterward, and the bathrooms were clean. Definitely worth the detour! BUY the 8 pounds of food - we had to conserve near the end. The bison, zebras, pigs, and ostrich all came right up to our car. Awesome trip. read more

So much fun!! The animals are all super interactive, wandering around and yes, of course, looking for a treat or two, or 100!! Although there's not a large variety of exotics, there are enough very large heads coming at you to make it exciting! We laughed and squealed the entire time! Don't look away from your open window though, you'll end up with an animal head nudging you over!! We got the big giant reusable bag of food and so glad we did, we were able to feed animals all the way to the very end! We took our own car through and although a little anxious about it, the animals never touched it, just stuck their heads in the window and moved along when we started moving. Highly recommend for the entire family!! read more

Our school has visited Wild Animal Safari for several years, but unfortunately this year's experience was extremely disappointing. Our students and staff were treated poorly from the moment we arrived. We were delayed because staff had not reviewed our payment information, our group was given only one safari bus instead of two, students were told they could not purchase concessions, and the overall tone from staff was unwelcoming and dismissive. Most concerning was a staff member's inappropriate comment: "...since you all are not paying for everything anyway." This was especially upsetting because this was the last elementary school field trip for many of our students, and it should have been a memorable, positive experience. We expected much better customer service and professionalism. read more

We did the bus tour today. Jack was our guide and was awesome, funny, and very knowledgeable. He was a lot fun and kept all of us laughing! Tons of animals and all were hungry. It was a very fun day! read more

Wild Animal Safari - Jharnari gave me a kiss on the lips. It was lip to lip, thank goodness! - Zoos Near Me - Pine Mountain, Georgia

Pine Mountain version of Lion Country Safari I grew up visiting Lion Country Safari in Florida. This was a place where you could drive your car through the enclosure with wild animals. You did not feed them but it put you really close to the animals. We were visiting Callaway Gardens and decided to see what else is in the area. This is one of them. It is really a hidden gem for the area. It is fairly easy to get to and has plenty of parking. They have a small gift shop and a small zoo with several animals in enclosures to include big cats. If you feel adventurous you can buy a bag of food and drive into the large enclosure and feed teh larger animals. You have a choice of driving through the enclosure in your own car or renting a vehicle from the company. We drove our own car but, in hindsight, may rent their car on the next visit since some of the animals peck or scratch your car aggressively to get you to give them food that they know most cars who open windows have. We drove through, at time almost at a standstill from animals that lay down in front of the car hoping to get us to put food out. When you did, they move out. It is a large enclosure and took us about 15-25 minutes to drive the loop. It was a lot of fun and interesting to feed the animals but be ready to have them stick their heads totally into your car and slobber all over you. If you have kids or love animals, I would definitely recommend doing the drive through and supporting this park. read more

Came here for a celebration and truly enjoyed our time! The experience is so incredible, being able to safely interact with safari animals. The speed limit is 5mph, essential to follow because animals come very close to the cars and sometimes put their heads inside vehicles. We only ordered one bag of food per person in our squad (this was definitely not enough, I would've ordered a half bag or another bag more per person). The food is what keeps the animals engaged and attracted to you - so if this is the experience you're looking for make sure you keep this in mind. Being able to pet wild animals and feed them was so fun! Few things to note: you can rent a car ($30+) or use your own. Also, there are interactive experiences in the walk around area of the zoo I would recommend participating in if you are an animal lover and if so make sure you do reservations in ADVANCE. These are typically sold out. In summary, although the location is a little out the way, I'd definitely come back for the uniqueness of the experience. read more

Such a great spot to take the family. We opted to rent one of their Zebra vans for our family of 6. It was the perfect size and allowed us to easily feed the animals and drive at our own pace through the safari. We were so impressed by the amount of animals that are here! The grounds seem very well maintained and the animals seemed content. Highly recommend booking tickets online and get that extra bucket of feed! The gift shop was cute and the walk through part was also worth a stop. Overall, highly recommend! read more

There is so much false advertising. I wanted to see a crappybara, but instead got met with a crappyostrich. The cars were okay, but some AC would be nice. There is also way too many dumb deers. We need more variety, case in point, crappybaras. read more

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 read more

Glad we opted to rent one of the zebra vans as the animals come right up to the vehicle for the food pellets, slobbering all over the vehicles and some climbing right up on them. The first zebra va was infested with ants and the second one was in rough shape. on a 92 degree day Ac would have been preferred but all the windows are our so probably would not have mattered. They have a ton of animals but I'd say 75% were deer of varying kinds. seeing all the babies made us realize that they take good care of their animals. It would have been nice to know more about the various animals, rather than just a pamphlet with their pictures and a little about how they got to this safari in GA but we had a good time. read more

My friends , this is a great experience with family and friends. However, rent a van and do the tour by yourself. We took the tour bus because it was sold out. The tour guide was way to fast going around the park. Also , I don't know what happened to the animals but a lot of them were MIA. read more

This place is a blast. Was 100 better and lasted longer than I could have ever imagined. It took us about 75 minutes to get through the park and a vehicle that we rented from them which is what I would suggest for anyone going. Buy your tickets on Groupon and they are quite a bit cheaper. So many animals to see and touch if you choose to do so. Buy the reusable bag full of food because you will need it. read more

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! read more

This was our first visit, and the only thing I would change if we return is to go on a weekend, so we could take the guided bus tour. Renting the vehicle and driving ourselves made it more difficult to enjoy the animal encounters. read more

The cafe doesn't have tops or straws with their drinks. The animals mostly consist of different types of deer. The poor animals look like they are starving. I'm giving a three because my daughter enjoyed the deer and the staff was respectful. read more

This is one of the better safaris me and my family has ever been on! It's affordable and you can ride the bus or rent a car. They got a lot of animals all ready to eat. They have a good restaurant to eat at and well stocked gift shop. The walking trail was ALOT of fun and we were able to feed the birds and see a lot more cool animals! read more

Me and my two teenagers visited this safari July 27, 2022 on our way to Atlanta. I purchased 3 tickets online and 2 large bags of food ($5 each), my total was around $111. Check-in was fast even thought they have a large field trip with small kids there the day we went. The workers provided us a pamphlet and advised us to not feed three animals because they bite (zebra, camel and and some type of bird. All were located inside the pamphlet so be sure to read it. She also asked if we wanted to drive our own car, ride the bus or rent a vehicle for $30. I decided to drive my own car. Once inside the safari, it took about an hour to complete since we were behind a bus carrying kids (which was no problem). The animals were friendly and none scratched or damaged my car. The only animal that jumped on my door was a the Ram (which explains why Aries are crazy...I'm an Aries btw hehe). It can be a little scary passing the larger animals with horns but I just waited until they moved off the road. The grounds were well kept and the animals seemed like they were happy. After the drive-thru safari, we visited the walkabout which is right outside of the safari and included in the admission price. The walkabout is like a mini zoo that had a tigers, a bear, a reptile exhibit and other animals. Definitely checkout the walkabout before leaving. Overall, my kids and I enjoyed ourselves. It was a different experience and until I can make it to Africa to visit one, the one in Pine Mountain will do. read more

My Honda Civic Sedan became the Honda Civic Safari when we spent the first half of the day at Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, GA. A unique experience where you drive through and feed the animals through your car window. So a couple pointers to remember if you go: 1. Keep calm. You will get slobbered on. 2. Car windows all the up or all the way down. You gotta commit. 3. Don't feed the ostriches by hand. Trust me, just don't. read more

READ BEFORE BOOKING ANYTHING!!!!!! We had went to Wild Animal Safari on 08/23 and had booked the capybara experience ahead of time for 1:15pm. We arrived at 12:30pm and started the drive through safari tour which was wonderful we wrapped up at 1:20 which was a bit behind our schedule, but went directly to the yellow house and asked the nice lady at the desk if we could still attend and she said yes just up into the walk around enclosures and meet the guide. We head up there and are unable to find anyone for the encounter. We head back down and tell the lady we weren't able to find anyone are we able to still do it? She walkies and says no problem just head up and the keeper will meet you. We were all super excited and happy they were still able to accommodate us. We get up to the enclosure and two ladies are waiting for us. One is very welcoming and the other YELLS "you made us look horrible, you were late and you said we couldn't find you". I wasn't sure why she was saying this as all I had said to the lady was that we had got here around 1:20 but couldn't find them walking around. She didn't want to believe me and kept blaming me for not being here on time and was very unwelcoming about it. I asked if she had a problem and she said "yes you made us look bad and lied about us not being there". I was pretty distraught that they would accuse me of lying when we were simply late and couldn't find them. She then proceeded to continue to berate me in front of other customers and told me they will be rescheduling because she will not be dealing with us. THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD CUSTOMER SERVICE WISE and the most demeaning gross lady I have dealt with. We left and went to the office to get a refund which they had processed and I had asked for names of the employees from the manager and the manager concluded that I was at fault for being late and I shouldn't have lied (said I couldn't find them). He said that I was never yelled at and was lying about my story as the employees had already talked to him. Even though I had 2 other people with me and about 5 other people watching what happened. He would not give me the names of himself or the two keepers of the capybaras of course for protection. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE CAPYBARA EXPERIENCE. THE WORST AND RUDEST EMPLOYEE I HAVE EVER MET. ACTUALLY DON'T GO HERE EDIT:: I was able to find the RUDE employee who works the capybara enclosure. Her name is Melanie and she was the rudest employee I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Make sure to cancel your experience if it is with her!!! And don't be late if it is! read more

Bad: Half of the staff is terrible. Some of the staff will not do their Job. Amber Cagle is Lazy and she talks bad about current and former coworkers. Some of the Management do not care.

Still some visible damage from the tornado. Parts of the walkabout is still closed but don't let that deter your visit. Great summer day trip at a very reasonable rate. read more

Great day trip with the kids. I drove my own car through the park and was careful to not scratch the sides but going slowly and watch out for the animal horns or antlers. Kids loved feeding the animals through our windows and being slobbered on occasion. Haha! It took a long time to get through the park but it was great seeing all the animals up close. We went early and could drive through leisurely. This is a great find and would recommend! read more

Very nice activity for the family to do. It was not many people and the buses were running around the clock so we didn't have to wait long.

We had such an amazing time! The whole family enjoyed it. Clean establishment & good customer service. We loved our tour guide Jack and all his jokes. As well as how much we were able to interact with all the animals. Worth the price for the variety of animals we saw. We would definitely go back. read more

#1 - Pay the extra cash to use their vehicles! The animals will jump up on your car and scratch up everything. This is a super unique and fun place, especially if you have small kids. My 2 year old absolutely loved it! It's interesting to see all of these animals loving together in harmony. They love coming up to people and eating food right from the car, even the animals I thought would run away, came right up to us. Hands down the coolest safari I've been on. read more

An amazing day being really up close and personal with the animals during the drive through! Everyone was thrilled and amazed - from the grandmother to the elementary age kids. And the walk about Zoo was also wonderful. We got to feed the birds and they would land on our hands while they ate. We will definitely be going back! Highly recommend for a family day outing! read more

This is such a great family friendly experience! You have to do this at least once if you love animals and want to get up close and personal with them! This experience will warm your heart! Family of 5 for under $200! Well worth it! Note: Go with reasonable expectations . . . if you drive your own car, it will likely get hooves, antlers, horns, and slobber on it! LOL! Ycan always rent one of their vehicles pretty cheap too if you are worried about your car. read more
