Safaripark

En safaripark er en form for dyrepark, hvor turister kan køre igennem i deres egen bil og opleve dyrene, der går frit omkring.

En safaripark er større end en normal zoologisk have, men mindre end vildreservat. Eksempelvis dækker African Lion Safari i Hamilton, Canada 3.0 km2 mens vildreservatet ved Lake Nakuru der er en del af Søerne i Riftdalen i Kenya er 168 km2, og typisk vildreservat for storvildt er eksempelvis Tsavo East, der omfatter 11.747 km2.

Mange safariparker har bevaringsprogrammer for truede dyrearter som elefanter, næsehorn, giraffer, løver, tigre, leoparder og hyæner.

En meget stor del af safariparkerne er grundlagt inden for en relativt kort periode på omkring 10 år fra 1966 til 1975.
