Central Florida has a great history of entertaining guests with its multitude of attractions, from the Walt Disney World® Resort to Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World Orlando and more. And while many of those visitors never venture far outside the “tourist zone” of Orlando, they don’t know what they are missing out on by ignoring all of the beautiful Florida terrain that surrounds the area. One way to catch a glimpse of that in a unique way is by visiting Florida EcoSafaris in nearby St. Cloud, Fla.

Florida EcoSafaris is a 4,700-acre wildlife conservation and eco-ranch that boasts land that has remained untouched by man. Visitors here have three options for seeing the wilderness, natural streams, wetlands and cypress forests – through a fully-guided Zipline Safari, Coach Safari, or Horseback Safari! The Zipline Safari is the newest addition to the Florida EcoSafaris lineup, and it gives guests a rather unique angle of Florida’s natural preserves – from 55 feet up in the air! As you glide at speeds of up to 25 mph along 750-feet long ziplines, you can witness Florida’s  Pine Flatwoods and wetlands in a sure fire one-of-a-kind way!

The Coach Safari is a two-hour guided tour through the heart of this 4,700-acre preserve. Photo opportunities are around every corner as your open-air vehicle that is lifted five feet off the ground takes you through the conservation area over both water and land. Finally, the Horseback Safari takes visitors through historic trails that were once used by Native Americans in the 1950s. Covering nine different Florida ecosystems, these one, two or three-hour guided horseback tours are yet another way to experience the natural beauty of Central Florida.

Whichever way you choose to discover this conservation area, you can expect to see Florida just as nature had intended it, complete with sightings of alligators, black bears, white-tail deer, over 200 species of birds and even the endangered Florida panther. And best of all, you will be preserving natural Florida just by experiencing it, as 30 percent of all proceeds from the EcoSafaris are donated back to additional conservation efforts. Help save the world and have a one-of-a-kind family experience at the same time with Florida EcoSafaris!
