On the outskirts of San Antonio, you will find the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. If you love zoos and animals, you will definitely love this attraction. The Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch provides a unique way for visitors to interact with wild animals. Instead of viewing them in a closed space, you will be able to drive through the 400-acre safari park filled with animals like giraffes, zebras and elk right in the comfort of your own car.
For more than 30 years, the ranch has taken care of animals from all over the world. The ranch features more than 500 animals representing over 40 species. While you won’t find any predators or elephants, you will run into animals like ostriches, llamas, African buffalo and elk (and most likely the animals’ babies) roaming free. In 2013, the only living set of giraffe twins in the United States were born there. You can find a complete list of all the animals they have on their website. When arriving, you will be provided with a Ranch guide. You are also able to roll down your window and feed some of the animals. This makes for some great photos!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
