Sunset Safari

Twilight is a very special time of day to experience the Wilds.

Sunset Safari at the Wilds

Every Friday and Saturday evenings June through September, we offer Sunset Safaris -- a special experience by reservation only.

Your Sunset Safari tour begins with a buffet dinner, prepared by the Wilds' professional chef, on the deck of the Overlook Café. Enjoy sweeping views of the Wilds’ beautiful landscape bathed in the late evening sun.

Then, board an Open-Air Safari transport for a guided tour through the Wilds’ open-range animal areas when the animals are most active at feeding time. View rhinos, giraffes, antelope and other rare and endangered animals roaming in large, natural habitats as you enjoy the evening sunset. This tour includes a stop at the new Mid-Sized Carnivore Conservation Center and other destinations for up-close learning experiences of the important conservation work taking place at the Wilds. Be sure to bring your camera for incredible photographic opportunities.

  • Time: 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
    (4:30-7:30 p.m. in September -- dinner takes place following the safari tour)

  • Cost: $75 per person (all ages);
    $70 per person (all ages) for Wilds members.

Make your reservation online or call 740-638-5030 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
