    Our little cabinwas very nicely furnished and had everything we needed for our 2-day stay. The bed was comfy. Air conditioning was great. Animals right outside our deck. Every single staff person we came in contact with was friendly and professional. The food was great. They offer so many animal experiences including giraffes, capybaras, kangaroos, otters, zebras, I could go on and on.

    From the moment we made our reservation until the day we checked out, every aspect of this adventure was absolutely exceptional. The accommodations were immaculate, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. The staff truly set this experience apart. They went above and beyond to keep everyone informed, answer every question with professionalism and kindness, and make us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The chef and kitchen team were phenomenal. Every meal was beautifully prepared, absolutely delicious, and served with impeccable timing. There was always more than enough food, and every meal was something to look forward to. This vacation exceeded every expectation and was worth every single penny. We made unforgettable memories and can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

    We had the experience of a lifetime at Blue Hills Ranch in early May. The giraffe house was beautiful and interacting with the giraffes in the "backyard" was magical. The Otter experience was a complete joy. We could tell the otters were happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend a stay at Blue Hills for any animal lover.

    It was all amazing! The animal encounters were truly exceptional. Outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly and fun. The food was incredible and Chef Kim really made the meals (especially the desserts) special. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I highly recommend Blue Hills to any and all animal enthusiasts.

    We came all the way from Florida to Waco, and Blue Hills Safari Ranch was a highlight of our trip! Our host was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgeable about all the animals. This was our second time visiting Blue Hills Safari. Having our friends join us made the experience even more fun. We had an amazing time and made some great memories. Highly recommend! 🦒🦓❤️
