The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, originally named the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800 acre zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in San Diego County. The park houses a large array of wild and endangered animals including species from the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia.

The park is also noted for its California condor breeding program, the most successful such program in the United States.
A safari is an overland journey to hunt or observe wild animals, especially in eastern or southern Africa.

A game reserve is a large area of land where wild animals live safely or are hunted in a controlled way for sport.
