Explore the World of Jungle Larry and Safari Jane

Picture
New! Book by Safari Jane
Thousands in the Midwest remember a childhood when Jungle Larry® and Safari Jane® came to their school to introduce them to the wonder of the natural world by sharing animals and films from faraway lands. Millions more remember watching them on television or meeting this couple in person at Ohio theme parks like Cedar Point. 

​Enjoy a walk down memory lane as you discover how one young Michigan boy's fascination with snakes by the creek would spark a love of nature that would take him around the world. More importantly, with his wife, they would invite millions of others to join in that love for animals from anteaters to zebras. We hope you enjoy reliving the memories or meeting this family for the first time.  Paper and e-book options.

​As Director of Conservation for Naples Zoo, I am grateful to continue my parent’s legacy conserving wildlife. I am in Africa over a month each year and always carry one of my dad's bandana’s on my travels in his honor. Because of our long-term conservation partnerships, our limited departure safaris get experiences simply not available on scheduled - or even private - safaris. 2026 is sold out. If you'd like to join me in 2027, visit www.napleszoo.org/travel to learn about joining the waitlist for itinerary information!
