About this tour
Take a Texas safari through the rolling Hill Country at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, where free-roaming animals may wander right up to your vehicle. This self-guided San Antonio Wildlife Ranch Safari Drive-Thru covers a six-mile route across more than 500 acres, with over 40 species to spot, including giraffes, zebras, ostriches, antelope, and emus.
Set your own pace as you watch the animals roam, pause for photos, and make another loop if you like. The drive generally takes 1–2 hours, and your ticket is valid for the day with unlimited drive-through loops. Keep your windows up and stay inside a closed vehicle throughout the route; animal feed is available to purchase.
After the drive, stretch your legs in the Walk-A-Bout area for closer encounters with smaller animals. You can also take a break at the Safari Camp Grill or picnic beneath shady oak trees. Make time for a relaxed wildlife outing and discover a different side of San Antonio at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in San Antonio
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 26% in San Antonio means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in San Antonio by this score.
