Parc Safari, Safari park and zoo in Hemmingford, Canada

Parc Safari is a wildlife park in Hemmingford, Quebec, home to animals from Africa and Asia, including zebras, giraffes, tigers, and rhinos. The grounds are divided into a drive-through zone and a walking area with elevated pathways, as well as water attractions open during warmer months.

Parc Safari opened in 1972 as a modest animal facility and gradually grew into one of the most recognized wildlife parks in Quebec. Over the decades, it expanded both its grounds and its animal collection, reflecting a broader shift toward conservation in the region.

Parc Safari is one of the few places in Canada where visitors can feed and observe large African animals directly from their car. This kind of close contact shapes how people think about wild animals in a way that a traditional zoo rarely does.

The park takes a full day to explore properly, so it is worth planning ahead and bringing clothing suited to both outdoor walking and time spent in your car. Picking up a map at the entrance or checking the zone layout online beforehand makes it easier to move between areas without backtracking.

The feline tunnels are protected passageways where visitors watch cougars, snow leopards and lynx; lions are seen elsewhere in the park, not from beneath a glass ceiling. The park also runs a VIP feline experience as an add-on.
