ABOUT SAFARI LAKE GENEVA

About our wildlife sanctuary in Wisconsin

WISCONSIN’S ORIGINAL DRIVE – THROUGH SAFARI ADVENTURE!

Just a short five miles from downtown Lake Geneva is an animal safari drive-through unlike anything else in Chicagoland. We’re not a theme park or zoo, but a unique wildlife preserve that is home to animals from around the world. Consistently ranked as one of the most exciting things to do in Lake Geneva, Safari Lake Geneva is a family-owned business and the brainchild of Wisconsin’s foremost exotic animal expert, “Jungle” Jay Christie. 

Christie had long dreamed of creating a refuge for the world’s diminishing breeds that allowed animals to roam vast acreage while you enjoy the sight of animals wandering freely from the comfort of your car. The end result is a wildlife sanctuary in Wisconsin that allows animals to interact with other animals, often in herds, much as they would in their ancestral homelands.
