Visited here recently for my niece's birthday, and it was quite an adventure to say the least! Took…read moreus about an hour and half from the Cumming area to get there. We bought tickets online and they had our name and feed purchases ready when we pulled up. Greeter gave us our buckets and explained the rules. We were probably one of the first cars through, so the animals were sort of hanging out far from the road. First animal we see is an emu in the distance on my niece's side. We are so focused on looking at that one and trying to get her excited, that I didn't even notice one had sneaked up on my side of the car and literally stuck his head in the window and grabbed feed from the bucket on my lap which startled me a bit which then proceeded to startle my niece...and that essentially set the tone for the rest of our time there. Next we came to the zebras. We were warned that they were a little pushy and had teeth like donkeys. You're taught to hold the bucket outside the car, but they pushed themselves inside the window (on my niece's side of course) and kept trying to grab the bucket, which just ended up dumping half of it into the car. We also saw some quiet, polite deer in the woods as well as some antelope in the distance. Next, we saw some llamas (or maybe alpacas). They too are a little pushy, but not as bad as the zebras. I think one even stopped at my window and smiled to pose for me to take his picture before he helped himself to another half a bucket of feed. Then we get to the camel. All prior animals were able to literally get in our car. The camel is inside a pen thankfully....He comes to the edge of his fence and we pulled close enough to where I could hold the bucket out my niece's side. He immediately grabbed the bucket from my hand, held it over his head to eat it, then dropped the bucket on the ground. I'm thinking I have to get the bucket back because I don't want to get in trouble. Problem #1 is, the first rule is to stay in your car at all times. Problem #2, some of the emus have now followed us and are quickly approaching from the rear. I climb into the front passenger seat, open the door, grab the bucket and quickly get back into the car. Meanwhile, the camel has moved on. He got what he wanted and had lost interest, figuring he would just wait on the next unsuspecting victim in the next car. We pass some water buffalo and the longhorns and a couple of highland cows. An ostrich quickly runs up the road in front of us so we can't get away. He helps himself and seemed a little more polite and pretty than the emus, so I let him snack. Eventually, we found the parking area and petting zoo. Mind you, there are signs telling you not to pet them or feed from your hand...but still call it a "petting zoo." Fed the goats and a huge pig. Made our way to the giraffes and someone shared some lettuce with my niece so she could feed them. She didn't love it, but didn't freak as much. Then we go to the aviary. We had bought three sticks with sticky seed on it, all of which I was carrying when we entered. I think we walked into a Hitchcock movie.... Parakeets swarm us the second we enter. Land on the sticks, our arms and my niece's head. That went over well.... Tried to direct her attention to the pretty birds and bright colors. Figured we should just exit quickly so we did. Went to gift shop where she bought a stuffed highland cow and all was well again!

We really appreciated how welcoming and attentive she was. Then we met Mae in the reptile area, and she was just as wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and even let us pet a few of them (We'll never forget you, Lt. Dan!) My wife and I had an absolute blast simply walking around and taking everything in before meeting Shelby, who seems to know everything there is to know about sloths and capybaras. She was delightful to talk to and made the experience even more memorable. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! A huge thank-you to Abi, Mae, Shelby, and everyone else who made our visit so enjoyable. We had an amazing time and truly appreciate all the kindness, knowledge, and enthusiasm you shared with us!

Highly recommend that you bring a durable stroller that is not an umbrella stroller because 85% to 90% of the trail is paved, however to get to some exhibits, you have to go uphill on gravel and dirt.

They have several areas for picnics and you can bring your own food highly recommend that you bring your own water as well. The staff and volunteers were very friendly and super helpful throughout the part. It's a big circle so there's really no way to get lost and my kid really loved the bunny petting area. 10 out of 10 definitely would come back.

Atlanta Safari Park is a great place to spend couple of hours with family, kids, a date or even…read moresolo as you drive on their 2-mile paved road through 156 acres of open land. While I wouldn't say they are on the same level as Wild Animal Safari south of Atlanta, they do have a decent offering of animals at a fairly reasonable admission price. Included with the drive-thru safari admission is a small walking zoo with farm animals, a few giraffes, and a parakeet enclosure. The giraffes just got a few new arrivals, but they were not yet on display. You may also encounter a free roaming peacock, to whom we did not see this visit. For a small fee you can purchase lettuce for the giraffes and seed sticks for the parakeets. But be forewarned, these tiny birds are a real joy, but they have absolutely no sense of personal boundaries! When I ran out of seed they landed on my head and shoulders, nibbled on my ear and tried to go inside my jacket pockets! You can also ride on the open wagon instead of driving your own vehicle when it is available (currently only on weekends). Cost for this is $10, but it also comes with a bucket of feed. During this past visit, one of the camels was being very ornery and bit my car door (causing some slight damage) and also tried to chew on my mirror until I drove away. He also tore the feed bucket right out of my sister's hands and tossed it on the ground! LOL It was a chilly day in February (around 45 degrees), so the animals were not very active, unlike our first visit last spring. We drove several football field stretches without seeing any animals, nor was the volume of animals the same. Still, when we did find them in groups here and there, it was a fun experience. Beware of the llamas and their fondness for spitting! If they are annoyed for ANY reason, you will surely have a fun story to tell. So keep your camera ready! FAVORITE THINGS: * The Highland Cows * Any of the baby animals * Feeding the Parakeets * Feeding the giraffes * DODGING llama spit * Riding with people who are uncomfortable with how in-your-face some of the animals can get! [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] In my opinion, warmer is a better time to visit than cooler and earlier in the day when the animals are hungrier is better than later when several cars have already offered them feed. ENJOY!!! NOTE: Kangaroos are expected to arrive by late spring of 2026 and a little birdie also told me there are several other surprises on the way!

I visited Georgia Safari Conservation Park during an August trip and was genuinely impressed by…read moreboth the experience and the park's respect for its animals. My visit lasted about two hours and began with the giraffe and ambassador-animal areas. I had hoped to feed Phoenix the giraffe, but he was not interested in participating that day. The staff did not pressure him or attempt to force the interaction. While I would have loved to feed him, I appreciated seeing the park put the animal's comfort ahead of providing a guaranteed visitor experience. The ambassador animals remained inside their habitats because Georgia Safari is a no-touch facility. The keepers shared stories about their personalities and explained how they help visitors learn about wildlife and conservation. I particularly enjoyed seeing the tortoises and having opportunities to ask questions. The open-air safari truck tour through the back fields lasted approximately an hour. The individual seats were comfortable, although the ride was understandably bumpy in places. Our driver stopped whenever we approached groups of animals, allowing everyone plenty of time to watch and take photographs. The zebras came within just a few feet of the truck, which was an incredible experience. We also watched two antelope spar while our guide explained how the behavior related to hierarchy within the herd. Throughout the tour, we learned about the different species and their endangered or at-risk status. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions as we moved through the park. Their insight added considerable value to the experience. A few practical tips: arrive 15-30 minutes early, wear closed-toe shoes and bring water, binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens. Boarding the safari truck requires climbing stairs, and the vehicle cannot accommodate a wheelchair, so contact the park before visiting if accessibility is a concern. I would gladly return, especially to experience one of the safari tents or the Giraffe Suite. Disclosure: A local tourism organization provided my admission. Georgia Safari Conservation Park did not compensate me, sponsor this review or request a positive rating. These opinions reflect my personal experience.
