![]() ![]() ![]() Not at any time during my visit to the preserve did I feel the animals were being harmed. One question I’ve received a few times is “are these animals sedated?” The answer is no. One of my favorite parts of the tours was the opportunity to interact with the baby tigers and wolf pups. While they are trained, they are still predators and are capable of causing harm to someone in certain circumstances. Throughout the tour, we were not allowed to come in contact with any adult animals (with the exception of Bubbles the elephant) for good reason. I should also mention that Hercules is a Guinness Book of World Records three time winner. A liger named Hercules weighing in at over 900lbs and standing at 11 feet tall when on his hind legs! Now, that’s a big cat. I didn’t really think twice about that after driving through those gates.Īfter an explanation of what to expect, we had our first encounter. After returning home I was called ‘brave’ and asked the question over and over “weren’t you scared?” No. I was under no illusion that I was going to come face to face with predators. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing to have to close it away in the glove compartment of my car.Īfter signing a few waivers stating we understood the rules including the fact that there’s always a risk that injury could occur, we were allowed to enter. It controls work, family, and anything else going on in my life. I’m the first to admit that my phone is in hand pretty much at all times. This is so there are no distractions for you or the animals and so that you can truly enjoy the experience. For the next four hours, I had to give up my phone and camera as neither were allowed. I admit it. As I arrived to the large bamboo gates outside of the preserve I was a bit nervous. This made my Myrtle Beach Safari Tour even more of an adventure. 98% of the Myrtle Beach locals I spoke to had never heard of it. I asked many locals about this place that is home to over 100 animals. I’ve been to Myrtle Beach a handful of times and had no idea. Did you know that a 50 acre animal preserve is tucked away quietly in small town Myrtle Beach, South Carolina?
