Most People Have No Idea You Can Do This One Awesome Activity In Mississippi

Going on an African-themed safari and feeding exotic animals probably isn’t something you’d include on a list of awesome activities you can do in Mississippi, but it should be. Scheduled to open later this year, Safari Wild in Como is an animal park and preserve that will offer "real African safaris." Spanning several hundred acres, it's home to hundreds of exotic animals. Fun for people of all ages, this one-of-kind attraction should definitely be on your bucket list. Take a look:

Slated to be the "mid-south’s premier destination for amazing animal encounters," Safari Wild is located in Como, MS, about 20 miles south of Southaven.

The 450-acre park is home to hundreds of rare and endangered animals.

Six miles of roadways run through the park, allowing visitors to experience a "real African safari."

Drive through the park, and you'll be able to get up close and personal with the wild residents.

From the comfort of your own car, you can feed and interact with a variety of animals.

Zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, antelope, and gazelles are just a few you'll see along the way.

If you'd prefer, you can go on a walk-through safari, which also includes plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals.

Just like on the drive-through safari, you'll be able to feed some of the park's wild residents, including lorikeets and giraffes.

Be sure to have your camera ready because it's definitely an experience you'll want to remember.
