Georgia Safari Conservation Park opens habitat in Madison

A 530-acre conservation park in Madison is offering guests a close-up look at exotic animals just an hour outside of Atlanta.

ATLANTA - Georgia Safari Conservation Park: This morning, we took Good Day Atlanta viewers along on a wildlife safari at Georgia Safari Conservation Park, the 530-acre conservation park located in Madison. The park is home to an incredible population of animals, including Asian water buffalo, emus and ostriches, zebras, giraffes, and African antelopes including elands and waterbucks. Park guests can see the animals during a variety of tours, including the popular guided safari tours aboard safari trucks (which start at $39 per person) and one-hour barn tours. Visitors who want to stay a little longer can book a stay in the park’s two-bedroom luxury safari tents, which are fully-furnished and come with some absolutely amazing animal views!
