About Giraffe Ranch
Experience the thrill of an African safari right in the heart of Florida at Giraffe Ranch! Spanning 47 acres of lush countryside, this wildlife center offers families a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness animals in their natural habitats. Unlike traditional zoos, Giraffe Ranch provides a more intimate and immersive experience, where animals roam freely, and families can observe their natural behaviors up close.
Set against the backdrop of majestic live oaks and vibrant native orchards, Giraffe Ranch is not only a haven for wildlife but also a dedicated conservation area. Every evening, the grounds become a sanctuary for 200 sandhill cranes, adding to the magical atmosphere of the ranch.
The ranch offers two daily tours, at 11am and 2pm, each limited in size to ensure a personalized experience. Led by experienced driver-guides in 4WD safari vehicles, these tours are both educational and thrilling. The vehicles are equipped with shade canopies, so you can enjoy the adventure without worrying about the midday sun. Learn about various native and exotic animals, and discover the ongoing efforts to conserve endangered species, some of which are extinct in the wild.
Kids will delight in the hands-on experiences offered at Giraffe Ranch. Imagine the excitement of feeding a towering giraffe or the thrill of petting a friendly camel. For those seeking an extra adventure, camel rides are also available!
Get ready to come face-to-face with a rhino or marvel at the adorable pygmy hippo. The ranch is also home to a working herd of Austrian Haflinger horses and one of the largest herds of Irish Dexter cattle in Florida. With so many animals eager to greet you, every moment is a chance to learn and connect.
Whether you're feeding the animals or simply observing their interactions, Giraffe Ranch promises a day filled with wonder and discovery for the entire family.
