Off the Course The word “Safari” is generally not associated with South Florida, but the Safari Wilderness Ranch in Lakeland aims to change that perception. The 260-acre preserve is embedded in the 875 sq. mile pristine watershed that is source to five of Florida’s finest rivers. They have two options - a guided vehicle safari tour or a camel expedition, for those that are feeling especially adventurous. Skeptical about the type of wildlife one might find in a Florida swamp? They’ve got Zebra’s, Red Lechwe, ring-tailed lemurs, water buffalo and blackbuck antelope, just to name a few. www.csgalinks.org CSGA Li
