Illinois is known for cows and pigs, and maybe the occasional goat. But what if I told you that Illinois was home to a drive-through safari? Yes, some of the wildest animals from around the world are right in Arcola, Illinois, the middle of Amish country in Illinois. Many people don’t know that such a place exists. But you can be transported to an exotic safari in Arcola.

It all starts with driving your own vehicle down a mile-long path to see a bunch of wild animals.
