🦒 NATURAL BRIDGE WILDLIFE RANCH
📍 @naturalbridge.wildliferanch
26515 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX
🦓 Safari Options:
-Private Guided Tour is $150 total for up to 8 people and is 75 minutes long. You stop half way thru at the concession stand/restroom if you’d like. This is the best option in my opinion. We had done the Self-Guided Tour in the past, but this is far superior. Our tour guide Kenny was extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much about the animals that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Plus there’s the added benefit of not having to drive so we could focus on feeding the animals and taking videos.
-Self-Guided Tour is $22-$32/person and you drive yourself through. It takes around 1-2 hours to drive through completely.
-Group Guided Tour is $39-$49/person. They will drive you in a group shuttle with other random people. Tour is 75 minutes. Tour guide will also teach you about the animals on the ride.
🦒 VIP Giraffe Experience: this was the highlight of our trip! We got to meet Buddy the giraffe and feed and pet him. Kenny, our tour guide taught us all about Buddy who was very sweet. He has a black tongue and was very gentle. My youngest was a little bit nervous, but finally got the courage to feed him and was so proud of himself! $230 for this experience, includes the drive-thru but number of people and drive-thru options reflect differently in the price.
🦏 You can do a VIP Rhino experience instead of giraffes if you’d like!
This was incredible. Top 5 life experiences for us! 🙌 I would highly recommend both the Giraffe Experience and the Private Guided Tour.
They also have an Aviary Experience and monkeys you can visit (and a petting zoo coming soon)!
