Safari wildlife...

What is African Safari Wildlife? Imagine yourself crouching in a bush, peering out at the antelope grazing on a vast plain. You've been traveling for days, tracking this herd of game as they migrate from watering hole to watering hole. Finally, you've found them. This is African safari wildlife at it's very best, free and roaming naturally instead of being caged up behind cold steel bars as they would be in a zoo. Of course, African safari wildlife is hardly limited to antelope. Most big game animals tend to fall under its bracket, such as elephants, zebra, wildebeest, and many more. Of course, the safaris of today have evolved from shooting to snapshots (the kind you take with a camera), and this is probably a good thing seeing as some of the animals mentioned are endangered.

Are Safari Wildlife Parks Only in Africa? Not anymore. While the safaris of old primarily involved taking a long trip to the African continent before embarking on a journey that lasted weeks, or sometimes months, in order to hunt big game, nowadays safari wildlife parks can be found in many places, including America. Apart from being found in African countries such as Kenya, safari wildlife can now be found in the states of Oregon, Texas, and Ohio, in parks that boast a wide range of wildlife, much of which (although not all), being safari wildlife. The most renown of these 'new' parks though is probably the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon.

Safari Wildlife Finds a New Home in Oregon Spanning 600 acres, the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon is a breathtaking rural setting. With vast grasslands and expansive woodlands, the safari wildlife here mimics the setting of its natural habitat, and despite the fact that the park itself has animals from across the continents of Asia and America too, it still features many prominent African safari wildlife animals. Lions, wildebeest, waterbucks, hippos and even giraffes can all be found roaming free in this safari park where they can be viewed and photographed by those interested. Similarly, the safari wildlife parks in Texas and Ohio offer much of the same sort of blend between traditional safari wildlife and other animals.

Kenya – Where the Safari Wildlife Began Although safari wildlife can be found throughout the continent of Africa, it is here, in Kenya where writers such as Ernest Hemingway crafted their tales of safari game hunting. Today, the hunting is gone, but the safari wildlife remains as diverse as ever and truly spectacular. The safari wildlife parks of Oregon, Texas and Ohio may boast as diverse a population of animals as any, yet little compares to the wonderful African savanna atmosphere. Here, in their true natural habitat, the safari wildlife can be viewed as it was by the original game hunters, although it should be noted that since 1977, Kenya has chosen to ban all hunting in order to preserve its wildlife.
