Let’s talk about our Toys That Teach®

Our educational toys are inspired by nature and powered by imagination! That means we’ve got authentic and artful figurines that kids and adults can enjoy for a lifetime…

From Idea to Creation

Our Toys That Teach ®  start with imagination. We call on artist’s imagination for some of our fantasy creatures and paleontologists & zoologists for our animal & prehistoric toys. Then, our sculptors & painters help bring that thought to life! It takes a lot of teamwork to make sure we get every detail JUST right! It’s worth a final product we are proud of.

Each product is then manufactured in that model’s likeness and painted with delicacy, making no two Safari Ltd® figurines exactly alike.

Learn More about our toy crafting process here.

Museum Quality

At Safari Ltd®, we carefully craft our product for the most perceptive eyes of all, those of a child. Our figurines are as life-like and museum quality as possible, creating a sense of wonderment.

Oh… and we’ve got epic Dinosaurs

Our Safari Ltd® Dinosaur Toy Collection has been acknowledged by many established professionals and educators in the paleontology field. Teachers have used our dinosaurs as supplements in the classroom citing their remarkable accuracy and detail to the magnificent creatures that once ruled the earth.

Prehistoric era buffs compliment our work as some of the most stunningly authentic figurines in the market. Safari Ltd® Dinosaurs were also featured in the Jurassic Park franchise, so there’s that..

Collectibles You Can Play With

Safari Ltd® has fans spanning from our inception in the 1980’s. Many of whom have kept their childhood figurines and enjoy them today. We’ve got the fan posts to prove it! Our toys are specialty lifetime treasures that don’t have to stay on the collection shelf.

10 cuter-than-cute animals from Primorsky Safari Park

What’s that you’ve brought me? A raccoon at Primorsky Safari Park in the village of Shkotovo.

For many years now, the most popular place for a family holiday in the Primorsky Territory has been the safari park near the village of Shkotovo (4,000 miles east of Moscow, 55 miles from Vladivostok). The famous nature reserve celebrated its tenth anniversary on Feb. 7.

Primorsky Safari Park is an enclosure inside the Ussuri taiga forest. Visitors can observe the wild inhabitants without fences or screens in conditions as natural as can be. Injured animals are nursed back to health by staff. The park has a high turnover rate: once fully recuperated, animals are released back into the wild, and their place is taken by others.

The park became famous for two local “residents”: Amur the tiger and Timur the goat. The story of their unusual friendship began in November 2015, when the cloven-hoofed one had a “dinner date” with the predator. However, Timur didn’t take kindly to being on the menu and managed to keep Amur at hoof’s length, after which they began spending time together. In late January 2016 the friends had a slight altercation, resulting in Timur being mauled for his shameless behavior. After rehabilitation, Timur was resettled. In March 2016 he received a mail-order bride all the way from Moscow — a nanny goat by the name of Merkel (no relation of the German chancellor, we presume). On January 25 Timur became the happy father of a kid, quite literally.

The young tigress Ussuri, born June 3, 2014, at the Moscow Zoo nursery, was brought to Primorsky Safari Park on October 17, 2015, as a partner for Amur. On September 18, 2016, she gave birth to a cub called Shere Khan.

The park is home to 15 species of birds of prey: hawks, owls, black kites, tawny owls, eagle owls, to name a few. A guided tour with a professional ornithologist gets you closer to the action. Some birds will even perch on your arm.

The safari park also houses foxes, badgers, minks, wolves and Amur leopards. The different species get along well.

The ungulates have an enclosed forest area of around five hectares all to themselves. Three parks in total: one winter, two summer. The animals move from park to park to give the plants time to grow. Five species of wild ungulates from the Primorsky Territory are free to roam this area, along with waterfowl and tame rabbits.

The park for ungulates now contains Manchurian wapiti, sika deer, roe deer and wild boars. The tame animals are quite happy to approach people. It’s even possible to hand-feed and stroke them, and have your picture taken together.

Dholes, or red wolves, are the rarest of animals. Once native to the Primorsky Territory, now they have all but disappeared. The last sighting of this rare species in the Primorsky Territory was back in 1973. In his Mowgli stories, Kipling described the dholes as an all-destroying, fearsome avalanche attacking the jungle. Dholes do indeed live in packs, but not as large as the fictional ones. Primorsky Safari Park currently counts three dholes in residence.

Along the perimeter of the leopard enclosure runs a six-meter high bridge offering views of leopards in their natural habitat — with no wire fencing in front of the eyes. It is currently home to one leopard, who will soon be joined by a female of the species.
