Nestled in the lush piney woods of East Texas, Cherokee Trace Drive-thru Safari is a wildlife park that is home to an amazing variety of wildlife. See over a dozen exotic and endangered species that thrive in an open habitat similar to their native territory. At your own pace, enjoy a self-guided drive through the hills and open savannahs of this 300-acre preserve. 

From the comfort of your own vehicle, you can observe, feed, and photograph these beautiful creatures. This natural environment has miles of roads that take you into a whole different world. Spot a Watusi (African longhorn cow) mother and calf grazing near a spring-fed pond. Watch the Blackbuck (Indian antelope) “stodding” across an open field.

Notice the lovely facial markings of the delicate Lechwe (Africa) and gentle eyes of the Barrisingha (India). Learn the difference between the Fallow (Middle East) and Sika deer (Eastern Asia and Japan).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a close encounter with “R. B.”, short for Raging Bull, a Canadian Woods Bison. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s Stella and Oscar – a pair of alligators.
