In its 55th year of operation, Lion Country Safari-Florida is one of South Floridas leading attractions and Palm Beach Countys largest tourist attraction. The KOA Campground was opened in the 1980's to provide overnight accommodation for visitors. The restaurant and gift shops were among the earlier additions, with many of the habitats, attractions and interactive experiences added later over the years to enhance the visitors experience at the park. Safari World, the walk-through area of the park, has been developed and improved since the park initially opened.

Among the more notable species on display at the park are lions, white rhino, chimpanzees, zebra, and giraffe. Today, Lion Country Safari is home to over 900 animals in drive-through preserve and Safari World habitats.

Lion Country Safari-Florida opened in 1967, in rural Western Palm Beach County as the first drive-through safari park in the country and introduced a new concept to animal lovers, The Cageless Zoo. Lion Country Safari was originally developed by a group of entrepreneurs who wanted to bring the experience of an African game park, then and now, an expensive and time-consuming trip, to families who would otherwise not be able to experience an African safari.

However, I did have a chance to explore the campgrounds a little bit, so here was my experience.Lion Country Safari is looking for a Full Time Maintenance/ Groundskeeper for our award-winning KOA campground. None of that ended up mattering, because I was too busy with work to actually enter the park, so I may end up writing a follow-up post to this in the future if I go back to the area and go into Lion Country Safari. I reasoned that I could go and make my own judgment and report back if I felt like the treatment of animals didn’t seem appropriate. The conservation section of their website and the guest reviews set my mind at ease. I believe that a lot of places that keep animals in captivity are doing important education and conservation work, but I know that is not the case for every animal-centric destination, so I always try to do my research first.īefore I booked my stay at the KOA campground connected to the Lion Country Safari, I did a little digging to see what kind of standards the safari had for their animal care. To read about my first KOA stay, check out this post from my Glades County trip! Lion Country SafariĪs someone who tries to travel as consciously as possible, I am always doing my best to avoid spending my money at unethical places. I want to document my stay at my second KOA in Florida back in January 2022, but I was in the area for work and didn’t have a chance to explore much of the area other than the campground!
