Experience the magic of dawn in Custer State Park as you journey along the iconic Wildlife Loop during a guided sunrise safari. Travel in a custom stretch open-air Jeep Wrangler with exclusive access to interior roads rarely seen by the public. Departing in the quiet darkness before first light, this educational and immersive tour offers mild-to-moderate terrain and a front-row seat to nature awakening with the sun. As golden hues stretch across the prairie, watch for roaming bison herds and other wildlife moving freely across nearly half of the park’s 71,000 acres.
Discover the beauty of the 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road, enhanced by private dirt interior routes accessible only to state-approved safari Jeeps. Your knowledgeable guide shares insights into park history, wildlife behavior, and local horticulture while encouraging brief photo stops along the way. With bison sightings and a breathtaking sunrise as the main priority, this tour ensures you spend less time searching and more time fully experiencing the wild heart of South Dakota.
