Where: Madison, Georgia

A safari experience is closer than you think. Visitors can encounter more than eighty species of animals at the newly opened Georgia Safari Conservation Park in Madison, Georgia, including rhinos, zebras, and water buffalo. Climb aboard an open-air vehicle and traverse the park’s lush landscapes, where residents like Condo, an African spurred tortoise, and Clover, the elusive addax, roam freely. To fully maximize your visit, opt for a stay in the Giraffe Suite (summer rates start at $449 per night) with its views of the resident giraffes, or book the Safari Encounter Tour ($125 per adult and $85 per child), which includes special animal encounters.
