Texas Safari is full of history. It has been in operation since 1980, making it the oldest wildlife park in Texas. The original log cabin, in which the original settlers lived in and fought Comanche Indians out of, was built in 1850 and is still on the property. 2 barns built in 1870 are also located on the ranch. Today, the park is run by 6th and 7th generation Texans.

 

As a breeding facility, we strive to expand the population of endangered animals. Our mission is to maintain the wellbeing of each and every animal in our care. All proceeds from our cabin rentals go towards feed and veterinary care.

 

As a guest, you are welcome to drive around the approximately 1000 acre property to freely interact with the animals. There are 10 miles of paved roads for your use. There are many points of interest to explore on the property including the Tonkawa Indian caves and our Old Western Town.  The views from higher elevations are breathtaking and encompass many miles of the Northern Texas Hill Country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure to visit the Tonkawa Indian caves, used by the Tonkawa and Comanche Indians.  The Tonkawa Indians, a semi-nomadic group of hunters as well as growers, relied on wild game such as buffalo and deer as well as beans, squash, and other vegetables for their daily diet.

 

The park sits on the historic Chisholm Trail, which was originally used by Indian hunting parties and later became one of the largest trails for Texas cattle drives.

 

 

Feel free to spend some time fishing from our stocked 'catch-and-release' ponds, as well as the Bosque River, but remember to bring your own fishing gear.

Please note that while our animals are friendly, they are still wild so treat them as such.

 

 

A minimum two-night stay is required.  Our booking system will not accept single-night stays and will show dates of less than two consecutive nights as "unavailable".
