Drive-Thru Safari Adventure in Kenansville

My kids absolutely loved it! It was a great family activity to do even during this quarantine time because we didn't even have to get out of the car. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we will definitely recommend this to everyone we know! I already got another family of 5 to go and they loved it as well!

Great time with the family! Happily recommended.

The whole family had a great time. We went through twice. It was great to see the animals free to move around. To have them up close, watching them interact with the other animals or checking out the visitors. The kids had fun feeding the giraffes. It's a must do again!

Our family had a great time! Thank you!

An enjoyable way to spend a couple hours! Appreciate that it is not a one and done opportunity, but that you can go back through to see things you may have missed. Being there at opening highly recommended, the animals were all up and moving about which I am sure changes as the temperature rises throughout the day. Can't wait to come back and do the safari again and to be able to do the airboat ride!

Overall outstanding. Only thing missing is NO Doug. You HAVE Emu Limu, but NO! Doug. :-( (only foolin')

My husband and I loved the Drive-Thru Safari (we do not have children - it was just the two of us). We had made reservations one week in advance and were able to go any time that day which was nice as it took us about an hour to get there and we weren't pressed to make a specific time. Upon arrival, rules were clearly explained to us (speed limit, don't touch, don't feed, etc.) and we were directed to the entrance. There was no wait and we entered quickly after our arrival. As the speed limit is only 5 miles per hour we were able to take our time and see all the animals at a leisurely pace and get as many pictures as we wanted. At times, we had to stop as animals were crossing the road directly in front of vehicles. There were several different animals to see. There were also several feed stations right along the road so the animals were very close. I am not sure if they feed them all day or at specific times but each feed station was busy with animals. The animals are free range and you drive on a paved road. We had to quickly roll up windows at times as the birds (emu's?) came right up to our windows. You're allowed to go around as many times as you like. Our loop took a little over an hour to complete. After completing the safari portion we took a quick peek at the giraffes but decided against feeding them as there was quite a line so I'm not sure how that experience is. We did use the port a potty's which were both clean. We ended our visit with a trip to the small gift shop. They had t-shirts, key chains, magnets, toys, etc. It was very enjoyable and I recommended it to all my friends after we returned home. Due to Covid-19 the airboat rides were not operating but once things are back to "normal" we will for sure be making a second trip to enjoy that as well!
