You Can Sleep and Meet Exotic Animals at This Airbnb in Oklahoma

Did you know you can spend the night on a ranch with over 100 exotic animals from all around the world? Located in Wanette, Oklahoma, is Safari Stayz, which is owned by a family that has been raising and working with exotic animals since the 1980s. They introduced their Airbnbs in 2024 and offer animal encounter experiences during your stay. This is one of the most memorable getaways you can have in Oklahoma!

Among the animals you may see at Safari Stayz include camels, fennec fox, reindeer, zebra, ferrets, capybara, water buffalo, red kangaroos, fruit bats, and lemurs. If you love all creatures great and small, this is the perfect spot for what may be the best adventure ever. And the fact that you can stay on the property makes it all the more exciting.

When spending the night at the Exotic Animal Hotel Airbnb with Safari Stayz, you'll have a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment-style home. With one queen bed, a fold-out couch, and a rollaway bed, up to five guests can stay here. The rental also features a full kitchen, which you will most likely need to use as the closest towns with restaurants and grocery stores are over 30 minutes away. So bring food to cook—once you arrive at Safari Stayz, you won't want to leave anyways!

Perhaps the best feature of this Airbnb is the large window connected to the ring-tailed lemur and the black-and-white ruffed lemur cages. Watching these animals will be so entertaining that you probably won't even turn on the TV! Curtains can be drawn over the window for privacy if needed.

While you can see numerous animals as you walk around the property, you'll get the most out of the experience by booking an exotic animal encounter. Each encounter is $45 per person, plus tax (kids under one are free), and the experience lasts up to two hours. You also have the option to add on a fruit bat feeding for an extra charge of $15. If you prefer, there's another option for a private, one-on-one, in-room animal encounter, which costs $75 and lasts 30 minutes. For this, you'll be given a list of animals to choose from. Check out tour encounters on the Safari Stayz website for more.

I first learned about Safari Stayz on TikTok when owner Kamy Grant’s videos started popping up on my feed. She shares facts about the animals on her farm, shows feedings, and explains how the animals are cared for. I find her videos informative, and the animals seem so sweet, adorable, and well-cared for. Check out her TikTok account to see many of the animals you can have an encounter with when you stay at the Exotic Animal Hotel Airbnb.

Are you curious about what past guests have to say about Safari Stayz? One guest stated, "I could go on and on about how amazing my stay was. The animals are treated well.
