The Primorsky Safari-park is a project of the Amursky tigr LLC that was founded in 1999. The Safari-park itself was organized in 2007 by the enthusiast Dmitry Mezentsev. In 2006 he rented a plot of land with an area of 8 hectares in Shkotovsky district and together with a son and a friend started to realize the project using their own resources. They dreamt about creating a place where people could observe wild animals, Siberian tigers, in particular, in their natural habitat. They wished to create “a bit of taiga”. The current area of the park is 16 hectares. This place is unique due to the fact that visitors can walk on the same territory with animals (except for predators and some ungulates) being not separated by any cages, barriers etc. The park is equipped with a bridge that serves for observing predators. 
All excursions are conducted by guides. This is a popular place among adults, schoolchildren, kids from kindergardens, boarding schools and others.The Primorsky Safari-park activity is aimed at fulfilling the following tasks.
- To help unfortunate animals (orphans, sick, injured animals who cannot live in nature on their own);
- To show wild animals to people without cages, barriers, glass etc.;
- Environmental education (to share knowledge about animals and nature with people);
- Participation in programs concerning breeding and conservation of rare animal species. The Safari-park is a member of:
- The European Association of Zoos on Amur leopard breeding;
- The Euro-Asiatic Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums on conservation of Steller's sea eagle;
The Safari-park has also been making financial contributions to the Center of rehabilitation and reintroduction of tigers and other rare animals in Alekseevka settlement since 2013. In 2006 it donated 600 thousand rubles for the program of leopard reintroduction in Lazovsky district of Primorsky region.
- To return animals who have recovered and become able to live in nature to their natural habitat.
