About Us
Sharing Our Love
Of Animals With You
Our goal at Sunrise Beach Safari is to provide an opportunity for folks to connect with cute critters of all kinds. We adore them and hope you do, too!
We are a husband and wife duo with over 50 years combined experience raising animals. Jerry went to his first exotic sale at the age of 19 and raised big cats before starting a mobile petting zoo business. Tonia was a nurse until her love of monkeys made her choose a different career path, which included brokering all sorts of exotic animals.
After getting married in 2021, we decided to meet in the middle (coming from Kansas City and St Louis areas) and start our adventure at the Lake of the Ozarks. We're looking forward to getting to know all the animal lovers in the area and growing together with you.
