Take a wild ride at the Alabama Safari Park

Story and photos by Nick Thomas

Visitors to the Alabama Safari Park this summer can expect many of the animal residents to personally greet their human guests. In fact, you’ll have many eating out of the palm of your hand – literally.

Home to more than 800 animals, visitors to the 350-acre wildlife park just south of Montgomery in Hope Hull drive the facility’s 3-mile winding gravel road while pausing periodically to hand-feed the free-roaming zebras, llamas, ostriches, and many other species from food buckets through car windows.

“It’s very safe, but there are rules that should be followed,” says park founder and CEO Eric Mogensen. “For example, you must always remain in your vehicle. You can ride in the bed of a pickup truck, but you absolutely cannot exit your vehicle. We have staff constantly monitoring the park, ensuring everyone follows the rules.”

In addition to catering to the daily stream of curious tourists, the park is dedicated to wildlife conservation as part of the Zoofari Parks group, which operates similar facilities in other states.

“We work closely with other zoos and private breeders around the country on captive breeding programs to build a healthy population of animals,” Mogensen says. This includes their sister parks, Virginia Safari Park, Gulf Breeze Zoo in Florida, and their newest Texas Safari Park, which is opening soon. “Our collection (of animals) depends upon availability, and proper management depends upon facilities and staffing.”

The park also supports conservation projects both nationally and globally, as well as native Alabama wildlife programs, by offering grants ranging from $100 to $5,000. Supported projects include the Siaga Conservation Alliance, Pygmy Hippo Research, tortoise population research at the University of West Florida, the International Crane Foundation, and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

“We budget a certain percentage of our income to be used towards our conservation programs,” Mogensen says. “We believe that there are habitats and species around the world that need additional funding for their programs, and we are able to assist. Our guests can enjoy the fact that while they are enjoying our park, they are actually helping our conservation efforts.”

Mogensen says the park is entirely self-funding, accepting neither donations nor state or federal money. “Because we have been doing this for a long time, we have developed a successful business model that allows us to be self-sufficient. We operate on income generated by admissions, feed sales, our gift shop, and animal encounters.”

Feeding some new friends

In addition to the self-driving tour, animal encounters include hand-feeding giraffes with lettuce (available on-site). From the raised viewing platform, visitors can stand eye-to-eye with the tallest terrestrial animal in the world which, on average, towers some 16 feet over fellow inhabitants in their native African savannahs and woodlands.

For an additional cost, visitors can also feed vegetable sticks to the newest park residents – the slow-moving but gentle two-toed sloths. And in a separate exhibit, Madagascar’s most famous mammals – lemurs – are on display. The park’s ring-tailed and black-and-white ruffed lemurs represent two of the 100 lemur species that are only native to the west African island nation.

There’s also a petting area with goats, potbellied pigs, chickens, and baby llamas, and at the Kangaroo Walk-About area, the famous bouncing Aussie marsupials could be leaping effortlessly across the grassland, lazing in the Southern sun, or tending to baby joeys in their pouches. Barnaby and Armstid, a pair of Giant Anteaters, are also recent additions to the park’s menagerie.

While Alabama is home to several traditional zoos, Mogensen doesn’t view the park attraction as a commercial rival.

Different from a zoo

“Before we built this park we were in close contact with the management of the Montgomery Zoo and have been careful to be an asset rather than competition,” he says. “We offer a very different experience than the Montgomery or Birmingham Zoos because our park is a drive-thru safari park. Guests can interact more with the animals and have closer encounters with various animals. It’s worth noting that our organizations are very supportive of one another.”

The region just south of Montgomery was selected for the Alabama park site due to the abundant grazing fields. And with Interstate 65 just minutes away, there’s easy access for travelers passing through the area looking for an interesting detour.

For the animals’ safety, visitors cannot provide outside food of any kind, but buckets of suitable feed are available for $5 at the gift shop. But with a constant mobile human food delivery service throughout the day, could the animals overeat?

“Our animals tend to self-regulate when being fed,” Mogensen says. “That is why every trip through is a different experience. When an animal eats and gets full, it will tend to move off and settle down for a nice rest.”

In addition to daily park passes, annual memberships are also available offering unlimited visits.

“We are constantly adding new animals and exhibits and are always planning for the future,” says Mogensen. “A guest should always notice something new with each visit.”

The Alabama Safari Park is open daily (except Thanksgiving and Christmas days), with summer hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; last admission is 4 p.m. Adults are $22.95, with discounts for children, seniors, and the military. Admission grants access to the Safari Drive-Thru and Walk-Thru areas for the entire day (receipts allow re-entry to the park). Wagon rides are also available for $10 per person.

The park is located off I-65 at Exit 158 at 1664 Venable Road, Hope Hull.  Phone 334-288-2105 or go to www.alabamasafaripark.com for more information.

What are some other outdoor adventures in Alabama?

• Monte Sano State Park (Huntsville): This pretty land sits on 2,140 acres offering a number of recreational activities on the 20 miles of scenic hiking trails and 14 miles of biking trails. Historians will appreciate that in the late 1800s, visitors came to the "Mountain of Health" for the fresh air, mineral springs, and extraordinary mountaintop views, especially in autumn with the leaves changing hues. The spring brings color too with the wildflowers and native azaleas blooming. Reserve a campsite, including one of the 14 rustic cabins that also have a history with the Civilian Conservation Corps. The park also offers campsites, a primitive campground, and a camp store.
• Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve (Atmore):  With 50 lakes, 6,000 acres of rich timberland, and a gorgeous waterfront on Big Escambia Creek, this place might just have it all. With all of the water, activities abound, such as tubing, canoeing, and kayaking. Hit the trails on foot, horseback, or bicycle. Or enjoy the sun on one of the sandy beaches. Reserve a campsite and make this a weeklong adventure, from 47 full-amenity RV sites to 15 tent sites, and even primitive camping for those people with a little more ambition.
• Little River Canyon National Preserve (Fort Payne): This serene property offers an unforgettable day away in nature. Pack a cooler and take advantage of the lovely picnic areas, walk the forested trails, and photograph the pretty waterfalls and breathtaking overlooks. One of the most interesting aspects of this preserve is that Little River flows for most of its length on top of Lookout Mountain. The rich, wooded scenery provides an attractive habitat for all kinds of wildlife and several rare and threatened plant and animal species. It is comprised of 15,288 acres, 11,042 acres of which are federally owned and managed.

This was a wonderful experience! We went with our daughter and son in law And our 5 year old and 2 1/2 Year old grandchildren. We all had a great time! We rode in the back of my son in law’s pick up, while he drove through the park. We were able to feed the animals and we went around. It was so cool to get so close to the animals. Beware of the llamas! They do think that they should be fed first!. Ration the food so you will have some for all the animals. We bought several buckets (hang on to them tightly, they will try to steal the bucket) and then dumped them into a bag. That way we could put a handful into the bucket at a time. They do eat it fast.the grandkids absolutely loved it!

Get ready to get up front and personal with these gentle giants! By far the best drive thru safari around!! Grab 2 or three bowls of food because you're gonna want to feed them all! We went through twice and wanted to go through again just for the heck of it lol! The staff at the shoppe are so sweet and friendly and absolutely the sunshine of the park! Smiles all around you know they love their job! Hands down the best day spent there!

Awesome safari park. So much fun as all the animals are friendly and you can ride through as many times as you want.

Virginia Safari Park

Gulf breeze zoo, alabama safari park, texas safari park, quick facts.

Zoofari Parks owns and operates Virginia Safari Park, Gulf Breeze Zoo, and Alabama Safari Park, which collectively bring in more than 600,000 guests annually. Zoofari Parks recently purchased 900 acres in Kaufman, TX, and has begun developing Texas Zoofari Park, which will open to the public in 2023. With a focus on conservation through education and animal welfare, founder Eric Mogensen has dedicated his life to caring for animals worldwide. He has spent over 50 years mastering animal care and nurturing conservation programs to help at-risk species worldwide.

Our story began with the opening of Virginia Safari Park in 2000, soon followed by the acquisition and reimaging of Gulf Breeze Zoo and then the development of Alabama Safari Park. Our story will continue as we expand into Texas, keeping conservation at the core of everything we do.

Did You Know?

The Virginia Safari Park has one of the most successful Ruppell’s Griffon breeding programs in the country.

Gulf Breeze Zoo is one of only two zoological facilities in the United States to house two types of hippos? Nile hippos and Pygmy hippos call Gulf Breeze Zoo home.

Alabama Safari Park is home to both the Grevy’s Zebra and the Grant's Zebra.

Virginia Safari Park was established in 2000 and is a beautiful 180-acre drive-through safari park that is home to more than 1,200 animals representing 85 species, many of which are endangered. Guest delight in feeding huge bull elk, bison, zebras, deer, and even the shy bongo while on safari. Virginia Safari Park also features walk-through exhibits, including Tiger Territory, Penguin Plunge, the Australian Walk-About, Giraffe Feeding Overlook, free-flight bird aviary, and more. The park offers unique encounters with their crash of Southern White Rhino, African Penguin, and sloth. Virginia Safari Park is also home to the King Cheetah, Africa's rarest cat.

Conservation is fundamental in the Park's daily operations. To date, the park has supported conservation efforts in more than 130 countries.

Before the acquisition in 2009, the Gulf Breeze Zoo, then known as Zoo Northwest Florida, had been hit by an economic downturn and faced the damages of Hurricane Ivan, resulting in permanent closure. Due to strong efforts from the previous owner and Zoofari Parks, the animals were able to stay comfortably in their own homes until the park was officially purchased, renovated, and rebranded to great success.

More than 200 major and minor renovations have been made to provide the utmost comfort and care to more than 1000 animals of more than 70 different species that call the zoo home. The transformation continues with three new exhibits opening in 2021, along with behind-the-scenes encounters with Nile Hippos, Reticulated Giraffes, and sloths. Future expansion for 2023 is in development.

Alabama Safari Park, a 350-acre safari park, opened in 2018 and works to provide animals with as natural a habitat as possible for the more than 450 animals living there. It features a 3-mile road where guests can feed Banteng, Grevy's and Grants Zebras, Watusi, Bison, Eland, Sable Antelope, and many other exotic animals free-roaming and up close, without barriers.

The park also features engaging walk-through exhibits and a beautiful Giraffe Tower where guests enjoy feeding numerous Reticulated Giraffe. Alabama Safari Park is currently in expansion mode with new exhibits under construction and exciting behind-the-scenes encounters in development.

Texas Zoofari Park

Texas Zoofari Park, a 900-acre safari park, is the most recent park built by Zoofari Parks and opened on March 24, 2023.

What to Expect at Harmony Park Safari in Huntsville

If you are looking for a new adventure with animal encounters, there is a hidden gem located right here in Huntsville, Alabama. Harmony Park Safari is a mix between a drive through zoo and hands on animal encounters.

Grab your Cash and a Bucket

Once you arrive, you will pull up to a welcome window where you will pay your admission fee and purchase food for the animals. They take cash and check only - no cards. We highly recommend getting a bucket for $5. You will most likely use every bit of it!

You can also rent an SUV to drive through the park instead of using your personal vehicle, this is a great idea if you are worried about dirt, horns, or hooves accidentally ruining the finish on your transportation.

Enjoy the Ride

Driving through the park, you will see a variety of animals! Some will be waiting for you, sticking their heads right against the window. We saw lots of “farm animals” like pigs, cows, longhorns, and goats. They also had deer, rams, bison, emus, a giraffe, a camel, and llamas! The park encourages you to stay in the vehicle, keeping the doors locked, but you are able to feed to animals out of your window with the provided cups.

Side note: trying to feed the animals and take pictures is nearly impossible. We highly suggest putting the phone/camera away and enjoy the moment - otherwise you might feed the phone to a longhorn!

Feed the Animals

After driving through the Safari, you can then park and take a short walk to the Reptile House , the Pigsty, and the Turtle Enclosure. The Reptile House was full of snakes, alligators, lizards, and more! They have a few species of albino reptiles as well.

The Pigsty is a large fenced in area with a huge family of pigs. They range from large to absolutely tiny! The park offers free popcorn to toss over the fence, they snort and run as fast as their little legs will carry them to the special treats.

The Turtle Enclosure was by far our favorite part! We purchased some lettuce for $1 to feed the tortoises and they loved it! They were munching the lettuce and following us around the entire pen.

As someone who isn’t around animals (other than our two dogs) very often, it was a fun experience! Feeding the animals is a little intimidating but at the end of the day the animals were really only worried about the food and were very pleasant. They are wild animals, but you could tell that they were also used to having people in their space which is reassuring. The Harmony Park Safari staff was helpful and had all the tools we needed to have the best experience. The Park is definitely something you should add to your schedule if you are visiting Huntsville! It’s great for kids, families, friends, and couples!
