San Diego Wild Animal Park is a 1,800-acre wildlife preserve featuring 38 endangered species of mammals and 11 endangered species of birds amongst its collection of over 3,500 exotic animals. They roam the park as they might have done in their native Asia and Africa (modifications have been implemented to keep species thriving). A tram ride allows guests to see animals roaming in their habitat and for an additional fee, you can get up close and personal with a customized photo safari.
Located 32 miles northeast of its sister, San Diego Zoo, and operated under the auspices of the San Diego Zoological Society, the Wild Animal Park doesn't look or feel like a zoo. 20 times larger than the San Diego Zoo, the entry gate doesn't give much away in terms of what to expect but when you wander inside, everything feels different. It's a dream realized for naturalists who thinks zoos are cruel to animals. For tourists accustomed to seeing row upon row of cages and a show, that aspect of the park is very low key. Until you know what's going on, you might ask, "Where's the beef?"
