Going on an African-themed safari and feeding exotic animals probably isn’t something you’d include on a list of awesome activities you can do in Mississippi, but it should be. Scheduled to open later this year, Safari Wild in Como is an animal park and preserve that will offer “real African safaris.” Spanning several hundred acres, it’s home to hundreds of exotic animals. Fun for people of all ages, this one-of-kind attraction should definitely be on your bucket list. Take a look:

Slated to be the "mid-south’s premier destination for amazing animal encounters," Safari Wild is located in Como, MS, about 20 miles south of Southaven.
