Sensory Safaris offer a unique opportunity whereby individuals are offered the chance to “see” wildlife through the sense of touch.  Children and adults are escorted by knowledgeable “safari guides” through a variety of touchable displays of animal, fish and bird mounts; skins; skulls; antlers and horns. 

The guides describe the animals and their habitats and behaviors while participants touch and sometimes hug the displays.  Sensory Safaris can be held year-around and can be located virtually anywhere, giving both children and adults a hands-on wildlife education. 

Sensory Safari was started by Bob Easterbrook, Sr. of the SCI Detroit Chapter in 1991.  Since that first Sensory Safari, several hundred have been sponsored and conducted by Safari Club personnel throughout the United States and in many other countries.  

Thousands of SCI volunteer guides have donated their time and taxidermy mounts, skins, skulls, antlers and horns so the visually impaired, handicapped and general public have the opportunity to learn about wildlife.  For further information about Sensory Safari click here.
