## About

Spanning 500 sprawling acres of scenic Texas Hill Country scrub and rolling pastures, the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch delivers an unforgettable autumn drive-through safari adventure for families. From the comfort of your own vehicle, kids can hand-feed over 700 free-roaming exotic animals representing 45 species, including zebras, ostriches, scimitar-horned oryx, and herds of friendly Texas Longhorns. The crisp autumn air keeps animals active and playful throughout the day. After the drive, families can walk through the charming petting barnyard to stroke pygmy goats and view majestic reticulated giraffes at the Safari Camp.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The safari drive is enjoyed from your own car; the walkabout village and giraffe observation deck feature level paved and crushed stone walkways suitable for strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Air-conditioned Safari Camp visitor center with clean family restrooms, baby changing facilities, and shaded picnic verandas.
• Age Suitability: Incredible excitement for toddlers, young children, teens, and grandparents alike.
• Sensory Tips: Animal feeding directly from car windows can be surprising for timid toddlers; rolling windows partially up provides comfortable control.
