First off, they have no arms and creepy eyes. I will definitely be back!Ī note on emus: they are very interesting animals, and I would like to share two things with you. That’s the only part of the park that you’re allowed to actually walk in.Īll in all, I felt it was well worth the $6 entrance fee, and it was a different way to experience a zoo. When you finish with the safari, you can park your car and see some reptiles. It’s a really great way to see some animals up close, we saw buffalo, a zebra, Shetland ponies, peacocks, and some others. Most of the animals come up to the car, and as you can see from Kenny’s pictures below, you can get some really great shots! We drove around for about 20 minutes, but you could definitely spend a while in there, and as long as you’re out before sunset you can stay as long as you like. It’s a pretty decent sized track around the meadow, and when you get to the end you can swing around and take another loop if you want. We drove forward a little farther and a large meadow opened up in front of us. A small herd of deer sprinted past us, and not to far behind them were some emus. The best part is that the animals come right up to your car, and we quickly realized they were looking for a snack. We drove past a rustic looking building with a water wheel, and suddenly there were animals everywhere–and they were not in cages. I was still excited about being on my first safari expedition–I had wanted to buy a safari hat–so I let it slide. The first thing we saw was a monkey in a cage not exactly what I had expected. The woman opened up the gate and in we drove! We declined to purchase any feed, which I later regretted. We drove up to a wooden stall, and a woman explained the rules and gave me a waiver to sign for my car. Not far down the road from Ditto Landing and the Tennessee River, we found the Harmony Park Safari. The rain held off and the sun came out, so we drove about thirty minutes southeast of Huntsville. A safari in Huntsville? That’s one thing I never expected to find! But as it happens, that’s just what I discovered this weekend.
