This Hidden Destination In Kansas Is A Secret Only Locals Know About

By Annie | Published September 13, 2016

If you are a native Kansan, you may think you know all there is to know about the state and its many attractions… however, I am willing to bet that many of you have never heard of this memorable and hidden destination, which is located in a southern Kansas town of less than 2,000 people.

Welcome to Safari Zoological Park; a small and private zoo (located in the town of Caney) that has been rescuing endangered species since 1989.

What started as a private collection and sanctuary for exotic animals quickly turned into a local phenomenon, as directors Tom and Allie Harvey continuously received phone calls asking for tours of their property.

Those who visit the park are given an extensive 2-hour tour of the grounds, which includes an up close look at all the animals.
