Cowboy Safari

About Cowboy Safari

Cowboy Safari is a free browser game where you ride wild animals in an endless runner and fill a floating zoo with the ones you tame.

You play a cowboy who lassos buffalo, zebras, elephants, lions and other animals, then hangs on while the ride carries you forward. Each animal you tame joins your sky zoo and brings in money from visitors. That money pays for better enclosures, which lets you attract more visitors and earn more.

The game mixes two jobs. On the run you need quick reflexes to pick targets and avoid being bucked off. Between runs you decide how to spend your coins. You can play Cowboy Safari online with nothing to download, so you can start a ride right away.

Cowboy Safari features

Endless runner action where you ride on top of wild animals instead of running on foot
A roster of animals that includes buffalo, zebras, elephants and lions, each with its own behavior
Some animals are fast and others are unpredictable, so every ride plays a little differently
A patience bar on each animal warns you before it starts bucking
A floating zoo that earns coins from visitors and grows as you tame rarer animals
Enclosure upgrades that raise your income and fund the next round of exploration

Tips to get better at Cowboy Safari

Read the patience bar all the time. Leave an animal as soon as it turns angry, not after it starts bucking.
Line up your next target before you jump. Landing on a nearby animal is safer than a risky leap across a gap.
Watch how each species moves. Fast animals need an earlier jump, and unpredictable ones are best lassoed when their path is clear.
Go for rare animals when you can, because they raise your visitor income more than common ones.
Spend coins on upgrades between runs. Better income lets you build the zoo faster, which gives you more reason to keep riding.
