Wildlife Safari is a drive-through safari and zoological park in Winston, Oregon, United States. The park’s main draw is the 615-acre (249 ha) pastures and field enclosures visitors drive their vehicles through, enabling many up-close animal encounters and photo opportunities. These field exhibits, divided into regions such as Africa, Asia and the Americas, mainly feature the park’s ungulate herds and larger hoofed mammals (including rhinos, hippos, giraffes and elephants), as well as larger species of birds, including cranes and ratites. Visitors also drive past naturalistic exhibits featuring black and brown bears, cheetahs, lions and tigers.
Wildlife Safari has a visitors’ area in its free Safari Village, which contains the park’s retail, dining, and customer service amenities. The area includes a petting zoo, seasonal camel rides, reptile exhibits, aviaries, animal interactions, as well as walking trails featuring numerous exhibits of the park's smaller species. Wildlife Safari currently maintains Oregon state’s only captive African elephants and maned wolves (as of 2021).
The safari has been a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1986, one of the only privately-owned zoological establishments in the AZA, and one of only three such animal attractions in the state. In 2021, it received a certification from the Zoological Association of America.
