African Wildlife next to the pacific ocean

B. Bryan Preserve protects big herds of a select number of Africa hoof stock. Privately owned and managed, the preserve is designed to give visitors and animals plenty of space to roam while allowing for close-up viewing and lots of education about the animals.
