Conservation

A visit to the Virginia Safari Park is more than a day of adventure. Every drive through the park helps protect wildlife around the world.

The Virginia Safari Park supports wildlife conservation through public education, responsible breeding programs, habitat protection and direct financial support for conservation teams in the field. As one of three zoological facilities operated by Zoofari Parks, we work alongside the Gulf Breeze Zoo, Alabama Safari Park and Texas Zoofari Park to support conservation efforts in more than 135 countries.

Our partnerships with zoos and field experts help address some of the most urgent challenges facing wildlife today. Together we support rhino and elephant anti poaching teams, install artificial nesting sites for wild penguins and help relocate giraffes across the Nile to strengthen healthy wild populations.

Conservation also begins close to home. Native wildlife faces many of the same pressures as species around the world. The park is committed to supporting local and national conservation efforts and giving these species the same care and attention as some of the animals guests travel far to see.

The Virginia Safari Park is privately owned and receives no state or federal tax funding. Every visit helps protect wildlife around the world. When guests explore the park, feed animals and share the experience with family and friends, they help protect wildlife and habitats for generations to come.

Together we can turn a great day at the park into something even more meaningful.
