Global Wildlife Center, Safari park in St. Tammany Parish, United States.
The Global Wildlife Center extends over 900 acres of land where 4,000 exotic and endangered animals roam freely through natural habitats.
The wildlife center, established in 1991, transferred leadership to Maci Matherne following the passing of founder Ken Matherne in 2021.
The center functions as an educational facility where guides share information about animal behaviors, habitats, and conservation efforts with visitors.
Visitors can participate in 75-minute guided safari wagon tours through the preserve, with opportunities to feed and interact with various animal species.
The facility maintains a collection of free-roaming animals from different continents, including bison and giraffes, allowing direct interaction in their natural environment.
