Israel Antelope Ranch, Wildlife conservation center in Arabah, Israel
Description
The Israel Antelope Ranch is a wildlife conservation center in the Arava that maintains several antelope species in a controlled desert setting. Visitors drive personal vehicles through designated paths to observe the animals, with information sheets provided for identifying different species.
History
The facility was established in the 1980s by founders who imported around 140 antelopes following an inspiring African journey. This beginning led to the development of a conservation center focused on protecting these species in the Israeli desert.
Culture
The facility operates educational programs teaching visitors about desert wildlife conservation through guided tours and interactive presentations.
Practical
You need your own vehicle to drive the designated paths and observe the antelopes up close. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when the animals are most active.
Did you know?
The center offers African-style overnight stays where visitors sleep under the stars near grazing antelopes. This experience combines closeness to nature with the desert climate of the area.
