Safari Texas style: Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch



Texas-style safari at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch


Hungry ostrich

Between San Antonio and Austin lies a whole new style of safari -- the drive through safari.  For less than $20 a person, with a bag of food pellets included, you can drive your car through a maze of wildebeest, cattle, deer, donkeys, llamas, bison, zebras, gazelles, antelopes, oryx, and watusi.  But the most dangerous part of the safari is the Massai Savanna section containing the ratites - the flightless birds.  Our hands (and rental car) were mercilessly pecked by these big birds.  We discovered ostriches are pretty big in person (they can reach heights of 8 feet) and they are not afraid to stick their big fuzzy heads in your open window.  

Got any yummy pellets?
