The Scenic Drive

Scenic Drive
   Giraffes on Scenic Drive

Go down a road like none before it, over a hill crowned with junipers and oaks, through an expansive savannah where a thousand amazing animals roam, safe and free. On the Scenic Wildlife Drive, you'll travel 9 1/2 miles through our living laboratory, where we conduct groundbreaking research to benefit endangered species worldwide.

Zebra on Scenic Drive

 

To come so close to these creatures would otherwise require a trip through three continents. By the time your adventure concludes, you'll understand the importance of preserving a living world worth living in.
