 File:WigglysafariCartoonWigglesalbum.jpg  The "Wiggly Safari" album was released on February 4, 2002 featuring 32 tracks.

## Trivia

* During "Koala La La", Cartoon Greg is playing the Maton EM225C acoustic guitar although there is no guitar in the soundtrack.
* "Butterflies Flit" was originally sung by Cartoon Greg on the Yummy Yummy album. This version has Cartoon Dorothy singing.
* This is the first video in North America with photoshoots exclusive to that territory's release.
* The concert footage in this video was filmed at the Vodafone Arena during the December 2001 tour. Clips can also be seen in the TV documentary The Cartoon Wiggles Take on the World.
* At the beginning of this video, The Cartoon Wiggles were lost in the Big Red Car, this was similar to The Cartoon Wiggles Movie when The Cartoon Wiggles lost and found themselves on Brrrrrr Street.
* This is the third non-concert video to have footage from one of The Cartoon Wiggles' concert tours, the first was Wake Up Jeff with the footage from the Big Red Car Show at the Lea Theatre and the second was Wiggle Time! with footage from The Cartoon Wiggles Big Show at the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre. However, those two videos had the concert footage come at the end as a sort of bonus, whereas the concert footage appeared during this video. The live audio is also not used, instead it's dubbed over with the album tracks.
* This is the first non-concert video to be filmed on location instead of in a studio, the second was Wiggle Bay, and the third was Cold Spaghetti Western. This video was filmed at Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland, Sea World in Gold Coast, Queensland, and Vodafone Arena in Melbourne, Victoria.
* Before the credits are over, there is a dedication to the memory of FDNY's Brian Cannizzaro, and everybody else who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Special thanks go to Engine 202, Ladder 101, Battalion 42. Posing with the firefighters are The Cartoon Wiggles, Paul Paddick, and Steve Irwin wearing FDNY T-shirts.
* The back cover song list order for the American and UK DVD & the American VHS is not the same order in the video.
* This is the final video where Reem Hanwell plays Cartoon Henry.
* This is the first collaboration video, with a co-producer (The Best Picture Show Company) and a group of guest stars appearing throughout (the Irwin family), followed by The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day!, co-produced with The Australian Ballet and featuring some of its dancers. Similarly, Yummy Yummy previously featured Paul Hester as a guest throughout.
* The 1997-2001 outfit is used during the prologues of Swim With Me and Kookaburra Choir where Cartoon Anthony gets wet. (This 2001-2006 outfit is done so the outfit wouldn't get damaged by the water).
* During "The Crocodile Hunter", Cartoon Murray is not wearing his Wiggles belt buckle. This is fixed later in the video.
* In the prologue of "Wobbly Camel", the Big Red Car wouldn't start. This part is similar to Toot Toot! because in that video the same thing happened.
* According to a bonus clip of The Wiggles' Big Birthday!, Cartoon Steve's son Cartoon Robert suggested that The Cartoon Wiggles should make a sequel called "Wiggly Safari 2".
* The Big Red Car in this video is the same one that was used in The Cartoon Wiggles Movie, but it lacks the windshield and now has The Cartoon Wiggles Logo on the front bonnet.
* This is the first video where The Cartoon Wiggles' skivvies have turtlenecks, and pants with trimming of the speciffic color, however, the 1997-era skivvies were still used for photo shoots before filming this video, and one was used for the intros of Swim With Me and Kookaburra Choir.
* The UK Main menu is a bit different from the Australian and American one. It has an extra option for trailers called "Coming Soon!" and The Cartoon Wiggles Logo is pushed down a bit to make room for it.
* During the scene at the beginning where The Cartoon Wiggles drive in the bush, the instrumental version of "We Like To Say Hello" can be heard.
* This video was the last time that The Wiggles we're credited for writing Cocky Want A Cracker since as of before Wiggly Safari was released in Australia, the song has been credited to only Steve Irwin and Paul Paddick.
* The cover is shown in an Instagram post by The Cartoon Wiggles posting on May 9, 2018, being their take on the "Avengers: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history" meme.
* Although listed in the credits, The Cartoon Wiggles' backing vocals are not heard in any of the songs.
* This video was filmed in 2 well-known parts of Queensland Australia, one, Australia Zoo in Beerwah, and the other, SeaWorld on the Gold Coast.
* "Butterflies Flit" makes it's video debut after Crtoon Greg sang it on the Yummy Yummy album.
* This is the first video to have Jacqueline Field voice Cartoon Dorothy.
	+ Compared to the other Dorothy voices, Jacqueline's Dorothy voice is noticeably much deeper and her giggle is more fluttery than usual.
* The Hong Kong DVD release does not contain any menus or special features. But, it strangely has the Walt Disney Home Video logo at the end.
* On the US/Canada DVD release, it does not show the HIT Entertainment logo at the end like on the VHS release.
* The footage of Cartoon Steve was later used in Duets for the new version of The Crocodile Hunter.
* This is the first video in which Cartoon Anthony has black hair with brown outline.
* The VHS inside cover advertises the following videos:
	+ Left side
	+ The Wiggly Big Show, Wake Up Jeff!, Big Red Car
	+ Right side
	+ The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video, Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate, Hoop-Dee-Doo it's a Wiggly Party
* The American DVD was pressed on July 9, 2002, just a day after it released in Australia.
* The first time Cartoon Captain Feathersword plays Murray's red Maton acoustic guitar. The next time was Apples & Bananas.
* During the song The Crocodile Hunter, when Cartoon Steve sang "Crikey, it's a croc with razor sharp teeth!" it sounded different on the video version than on the album version
* During the song Old Man Emu, when Cartoon Steve said "If you take a look, it'll prove to you I can run the pants off a kangaroo" and "You silly galah I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar They squeak and squawk and try to talk Why me and them's like cheese and chalk" his lines were slightly different on the video version than on the album version
* This is the first video featuring The Cartoon Wiggly Dancers with them wearing red coats.
