About Sustainable Safari
Our mission is to educate the public about planetary sustainability through the use of live animals in a safe, up-close manner.
Sustainable Safari is a licensed and insured animal exhibitor at Maplewood Mall & Burnsville Center. The Safari is a destination experience for all ages. The Safari offers free, daily mobile wildlife shows with lessons on Sustainability Practices and Natural History.
With the help of our Safari Guides, our wildlife interactions energize, engage, and educate guests about animals, natural science, and the challenges they face today. We hope to inspire humanity to save wild animals from extinction and help make the planet much healthier for all living species.

Values
Environmental Stewardship
Humans have been entrusted with the responsible management of planet Earth. No person or action can change the direction of human encroachment into the natural world. United in humility, passion, and concern, we’ll help provide a Sustainable Future for all species to participate in and enjoy.
Respect & Humility
The company holds all life in the highest regard, understanding that the best scenario for all species is to be free in their natural habitat. However, today’s Earth will never allow a perfect balance for all species. Therefore, Sustainable Safari® accepts responsibility for all animal ambassadors. Sustainable Safari is committed to providing each species with care, diet, enrichment, handling, & housing.
Educate & Inspire
Sustainable Safari takes great pride in educating guests about the challenges humans have created for all inhabitants of planet Earth, while also offering the opportunity to be part of the solution.
Integrity
The Safari holds each employee to high standards of ethics and integrity through action. Through its employees and educational initiatives, Sustainable Safari aims to lead in sustainable practices and natural science research.
Animals & Family
Sustainable Safari takes great pride in educating guests about the challenges humans have created for all inhabitants of planet Earth, while also offering the opportunity to be part of the solution.
