Experience T.I.G.E.R.S.

The Myrtle Beach Safari will truly be an experience to remember. Many of our guests describe the adventure as the “best day of my life” and a “bucket list” experience. Imagine walking through an exquisite fifty-acre tropical garden where you will get up close with wildlife and interact with animals in a way that can’t be done anywhere else in the world. At the Myrtle Beach Safari, you’ll meet the Liger (the world’s biggest cat), Bubbles the elephant, tigers, chimpanzees, monkeys, eagles and many more of our planet’s most iconic and endangered species.

During your encounter, professional photographers will shoot studio quality photographs and video of your group and the T.I.G.E.R.S. Preserve experience.

Through your experience at the Myrtle Beach Safari you will be able to make a connection with wildlife that will transform how you feel about wildlife and your role in conservation.

Proceeds from your tour help support the Rare Species Fund (RSF), which provides support to international conservation programs around the globe. To date, RSF has donated more than $1 million and countless hours of professional expertise to grassroots conservation programs worldwide. By visiting the Myrtle Beach Safari, not only will you have a once in a lifetime wildlife experience, you will be helping to conserve tigers, lions, elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees and many more species in their natural habitats.
