Zoosafari Fasanolandia: The Best Car Safari in Italy

• May 3, 2024

We’re constantly learning about what it takes to travel with a child. For the most part, our expedition style hasn’t changed, but we’ve certainly noticed a few differences. As parents, it’s difficult to not realize how many activities and attractions are geared towards kids. Whether it’s motorized toys you can rent by the minute or carousels in the park, the opportunity to entertain children at our expense exists everywhere .

Naturally, when we saw the consistent advertising of Zoosafari Fasanolandia throughout Puglia, we knew we just had to visit. Luckily, our experience ended up being just as much for us parents as it was for our daughter!

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know before planning a fabulous visit to Zoosafari in Fasano.

And Where Is Zoosafari Fasanolandia?

• Why You Should Visit

How Much Do Tickets Cost?

Where should you purchase tickets, when is zoosafari open, can you feed the animals, can you drive through with your windows down, how long does the drive through take, are dogs allowed, arrive before opening or during lunch hours, pack a lunch, be mindful of show times, scope out the park map beforehand, how to get to zoosafari in fasano, where to stay while visiting zoosafari.

• Is Zoosafari Worth Visiting?

What is Zoosafari Fasanolandia?

Zoosafari Fasanolandia is a combined theme park which consists of both an amusement park and an animal park . It is most known for its drive-through safari , which makes up the Zoosafari portion of the park.

Zoosafari is impressively the second-largest drive-through zoo in all of Europe and a prominent destination in Fasano altogether. Fasanolandia is the park’s other half and resembles a traditional theme park with rides, exhibits, and even an aquarium. Additional highlights of the theme park include a theatre, reptile house, monkey village, and a couple of small museums.

Although the overall park is divided into two main components (Zoosafari and Fasanolandia), access to both typically goes hand in hand. A bit more on this below, but by purchasing tickets to Zoosafari, a visit to Fasanolandia is also included. On the other hand, it is possible to solely visit Fasanolandia without completing the drive-through safari. In short, there’s a ton to see and do at Zoosafari, but it can get confusing when planning your visit due to the way ticket sales are structured.

As the name suggests, Zoosafari Fasanolandia is located near the town of Fasano. Fasano is situated in southern Italy, specifically in the beautiful region of Puglia . It is 60 km (37 miles) from Puglia’s capital of Bari and less than a one-hour drive from Bari’s international airport.

Is Zoosafari Fasanolandia Worth Visiting?

Puglia is one of Italy’s most beloved summer destinations. There is no shortage of gorgeous beaches to enjoy, seafood to devour, and charming towns to explore. With that being said, Zoosafari is likely on your radar for only two reasons.

• You are an animal enthusiast and thoroughly enjoy zoo visits.
• You are travelling with kids.

For those who resonate with the first reason, it makes complete sense to be interested in visiting a well-curated and straight-up fun animal experience . Sure, a zoo is one thing, but it’s hard to find someone who wouldn’t like a drive-through safari. How often can you come across the chance to see wild animals without being confined to small cages, all while in the comfort of your own car?

There are unfortunately many zoos out there that do not have the best interest of animals at heart. Zoosafari is not one of them, and their dedication to research programs, conservation of species, and education to the public takes the first priority.

It doesn’t take much to persuade any parent with children to visit Zoosafari. Whether your family is a lover of animals or not, Zoosafari and Fasanolandia effortlessly provides entertainment for kids of all ages . Particularly for any family who has done the beach and the aqua parks, the animal park is an excellent choice for switching it up. After all, fellow parents will understand that we’re just here to serve our children and their attention span! (Kind of only kidding).

Zoosafari Fasanolandia FAQs

Our least favorite part about Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the price. Compared to a typical zoo, admission fees are a bit costly . On top of that, the ticket structure is more complicated than it should be. During our visit, we paid for a Zoosafari ticket, which costs €32 per adult and €25 per child (free for children under 4 years old).

Aside from the main feature which consists of the drive-through safari, this type of ticket gives you access to Fasanolandia. However, it does not include entrance to the aquarium or any rides.

If you omit the safari altogether, a ticket to just Fasanolandia costs €18 per adult and children over four years old. For those eager to go on amusement park rides, this type of ticket is recommended since it includes six rides. Lastly, the third type of ticket, which is an add-on to the Zoosafari and Fasanolandia ticket, is admission to the Aquarium. A ticket to the Sea Lion Aquarium costs €10.

One of the best things about visiting the Zoosafari complex is that you can walk up and purchase tickets on the spot . There is no need to buy tickets upfront or online before arriving. This is the most ideal scenario for families who tend to make last minute plans like us.

As soon as the park is open, you will line up at the ticket booth while in your car if you’re headed to the drive-through safari. If you’re only visiting Fasanolandia, you can park your car and then walk to the kiosk to buy entry tickets. Reservations are also never required unless you have special requests or are traveling in a very large group.

To fully experience Zoosafari, plan a visit during April to September . This is the period when the park is completely open and operational, with regular visiting hours, shows, and exhibits. Outside of these months, the park is occasionally open with certain conditions. For example, in February, March, and October, you can only experience the drive-through safari on specific dates, while Fasanolandia (the theme park) remains closed. Additionally, there are special events during holidays such as Christmas and Halloween.

For Zoosafari (drive-through animal park), it is possible to purchase tickets and begin the tour from 9:30 to 15:00. Fasanolandia, which includes the amusement park with rides and other features like the theater and museums, is available from 10:00 to 16:00. These opening hours are only applicable from April to September.

By the park’s official rules, it’s not allowed to feed the animals or attract them towards you with food. It’s advised to follow this regulation while touring the safari because you may not know how animals will react. It’s a bit different than feeding pigeons at the park! In a worst-case scenario, the safari animals may cause damage to your car or you if you attract them with your own food.

Ironically, as you approach the entrance and parking area for the park, you’ll see a ton of roadside vendors. Each of them is selling plastic bags of food geared towards the zoo animals, typically carrots or even peanuts. Clearly, these vendors are not associated with the actual zoo, and that’s why you’ll see them making their sales before the park grounds.

Similar to Zoosafari’s stance on feeding animals, you’re technically not allowed to drive through the safari with your windows down. There are signs posted in multiple areas of the park prohibiting this for safety and liability reasons. However, this is where we slightly broke the rules, but only when it made sense. For example, the drive-through route begins with a large section of many goats, donkeys, and some horses.

There was not one car among ours that did not have their windows down and sticking their arms out to pet the animals. How can you resist a friendly lick from a farm animal?

As you get further into the excursion and into high-risk sections like the tigers, it’s probably not a good idea to treat them like goats. Additionally, the guards staged in these areas are more alert and will remind you to put your window up.

Overall, we kept our windows closed at all times in the backseat for our daughter but kept ours cracked open in order to take better photos. Use your best judgment with this one!

Driving through the safari can take 30 minutes or over one hour. It completely depends on how long you stop at each animal species and take the time to observe or admire. There were some animals to which our daughter was glued to and didn’t want to leave. Other animals were shy or not visible, so we zipped on by. Secondly, the time to complete the route will also depend on the number of other visitors accompanying you. After all, it’s a drive, which means there will either be a lot of traffic or not.

To our surprise, we saw a handful of dogs joining their human owners at Zoosafari. The dogs were even seen in the Fasanolandia theme park, which has access to the aquarium, monkey village, and reptile house. We believe there is a size limit for dogs allowed inside , as all of the pups we saw were rather small. If your dog isn’t large and is well mannered, bring them along!

Tips for Visiting Zoosafari Fasanolandia

This tip seems to apply to any frequented attraction or even beach, particularly in Italy. Arriving early is only effective if you get there before doors open so you are at the front of the line. If you arrive at opening hour, there will already be many cars ahead of you which cause traffic throughout the safari course.

We learned from our mistake, and when we visit Zoosafari again, we will likely arrive around 12:30pm when most people (Italians in particular) will start to leave for lunch instead.

On the subject of lunch, it’s recommended that you pack your own sandwich or something easy to bring along with you. There are a handful of kiosks selling food inside Fasanolandia, but they are overpriced and of low quality. We were definitely not the only ones taking a picnic break in our car after the drive-through safari and before entering the theme park.

If you’re keen on catching a show at the theatre, aquarium, reptile house, or any other special performance, consider planning your visit around the show times . Unfortunately, show times vary and they’re not on a structured schedule (or published online). But there are two ways to confirm this beforehand. First, you can ask the ticket booth when you first arrive for all the show times. Alternatively, you can email Zoosafari in advance if you like to plan well ahead.

For us, seeing the performances was not a critical aspect of our visit so we played it by ear. Still, we were pleasantly surprised to catch a dog show by chance as we walked by the theatre.

Parents who are traveling with young children will likely want to avoid as much backtracking and wandering in the wrong direction as possible. We know from experience that there is nothing worse than disappointing a toddler by ending up at the wrong ride or attraction. Luckily, when you purchase your admission tickets, you’ll also receive a copy of the park map (for both Zoosafari and Fasanolandia) .

The drive-through safari is very straightforward because it’s just one road and designed for you to see all of the animals. Fasanolandia is less intuitive, and the signs placed within the park don’t really point in the correct directions. Using the physical map to navigate the amusement park is best. It will give you a good preview of the layout instead of cluelessly walking around.

The town of Fasano is conveniently located right off the E55 motorway. The zoo and park are then situated on a hill just up the street from Fasano’s centre. Reaching Zoosafari Fasanolandia by car is by far the quickest way.

Zoosafari’s distance from a few major cities and towns in Puglia includes:

• Bari to Zoosafari – 60 km (37 miles)
• Alberobello to Zoosafari – 16 km (10 miles)
• Monopoli to Zoosafari – 18 km (11 miles)
• Brindisi to Zoosafari – 66 km (41 miles)

BY TRAIN: Reaching Fasano by train is possible, but the station is located 3 km from the town center. There is a bus that regularly shuttles passengers from the Fasano train station into town. However, there is no bus that departs from Fasano’s town center to Zoosafari park. You would need to catch a taxi or walk the remainder of the journey.

Ever wonder what it’s like to sleep at a theme park? Zoosafari has a few options for guests looking to stay directly at the park and zoo. If you’re looking to make the animal park a focal point of your trip, spending the night or two can be super appealing to families with kids. Minimize travel time and maximize park time!

Final Thoughts on Visiting Zoosafari Fasanolandia

If you are looking for our honest review of Zoosafari Fasanolandia, then we’d quickly tell you, yes, it’s worth a visit. It may not make the traditional list of the best things to do in Puglia but if you have the time, it won’t disappoint. As if we haven’t mentioned it enough, it’s especially a no-brainer if you are traveling with kids . To simplify our recommendation further, let’s break it down to pros and cons!

• The drive-through safari is excellent and good old-fashioned fun for all. There is a great variety of animals , and the route is well-maintained and designed.
• The Zoosafari ticket gives you automatic access to the pedestrian zone and Fasanolandia. It’s a good value to see additional exhibits like the reptile house, monkey village, and museums.
• There is plenty of parking, so you do not need to stress about sold-out tickets or availability.
• Much less affordable than a traditional zoo.
• For the price of admission, it feels like access to the Aquarium should also be included.
• Parking is also not free in the designated lots and costs around €3 for the whole day.

ZooSafari: A drive-through safari park in Italy

If you’re looking for a break from the human race, head toward Fasano, Italy, a small town near the city of Bari where animals from around the world roam the grounds at the ZooSafari.

Sure, it’s got your signature lions and tigers and bears, but also African and Asian elephants, American bison, llamas, hippos, zebras, giraffes, emus, pink flamingos and many other animals we don’t normally see.

The “safari” is actually a drive-through tour along a series of stepped switchbacks where the animals get to look at humans close up. Cars enter the park and are immediately greeted by some very friendly deer that won’t hesitate to stick their noses right in your window. Get used to it because the animals along the safari trail are not shy.

That being said, some areas are separated with gates and have a strict windows-up policy. This would be the lions and tigers and bears portion of the tour. If you want pictures of these guys, it will have to be through the car window, although some (over)zealous photographers may be tempted to sneak a few shots with the windows down before the park wardens catch up to them in their sport-utility vehicles.

Once visitors complete the safari path (we spent a leisurely 90 minutes driving through) there is the traditional zoo and amusement park to explore. The zoo includes several areas accessible by the enclosed MetroZoo monorail tram. It takes you past more large roaming cats (cheetahs, leopards and panthers) to a walking path where you can see polar bears, rhinos, baboons and other animals not exactly native to southern Italy.

The entrance to the MetroZoo is marked by a huge Buddha statue overlooking the gorilla enclosure. The lone gorilla, an adolescent silverback named Riu, was a bit surly during our visit. He threw a few handfuls of gravel at one of the park attendants who clearly deserved it after a few minutes of verbal taunting. (Who knew the gorilla understood Italian?)

There is also an aquarium, a reptile house, a few museum-type exhibits with animatronic dinosaurs, ancient model ships and other curiosities in the amusement park, called Fasanolandia. Between the animals and the amusements, the park is pretty much an all-day affair.

Clearly the animals are the best part of this trip. Whenever a giraffe sticks its head in your car, or you can get close enough to pet a zebra, you can’t help feeling hakuna matata (Swahili for “no worries”). The ZooSafari lets you get to see the beautiful, docile side of nature close-up in a setting that reminds visitors we are not the only ones on the planet.

Zoosafari Fasanolandia, a wildlife safari and amusement park

Sandra Marx

Travel tips for fasano.

The southern-Italian region of Apulia is the perfect destination for a weekend trip or beach vacation. Eating delicious food , sunbathing and exploring dreamy towns are not the only activities waiting for you in the region – you can also experience fascinating wildlife first hand! 

The nature park Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the second biggest animal park in Europe and just a 40-minute drive away from Bari . It is located in the Apulian town of Fasano, which is part of the commune of Brindisi and has over 40000 inhabitants. The wildlife and amusement area consist out of multiple parks, which guarantees an enjoyable and diverse adventure.

The main attraction is the safari park. You are driving with your own vehicle to observe the animals living in a spacious area adapted to their needs. At the beginning of the safari, there are animals, such as deers and water buffalos followed by an area full of lions, tigers and black bears. After leaving the area of predators you will be able to see many other exotic animals such as monkeys, zebras, giraffes, emus, and camels. The last section of the Safari offers a close look on feather animals like flamingos, peacocks, and cranes. 

The drive through the wildlife area is usually about an hour long and afterwards you can continue your exploration tour on foot. The first section is a tropical room with alligators, snakes, lizards and turtles. On the over 60 000 m² wildlife park, there is also a water area with large mammals, tropical birds, dolphins, a penguin house and many primate species. 

Often, there are also animal shows with dolphins, sea lions, and penguins, showing off their tricks with their trainers. 

Except for amazing experiences with animals, Zoosafari Fasanolandia offers also many different amusement park attractions. There are numerous roller coasters, some for children and some for adrenaline junkies, water rides, fairy wheels, and even a 4D cinema. Fasanolandia is located on a hill, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, which makes all panoramic rides particularly special. 

Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the perfect day trip for all families, animal lovers and amusement park enthusiasts.

Zoosafari Fasanolandia (Puglia) – Orari, prezzi e attrazioni

Elisa 6 Aprile 2022 22 Commenti

A Fasano , una cittadina in provincia di Brindisi, in Puglia, si trova il secondo parco faunistico più grande d’Europa : lo Zoosafari Fasanolandia . Il doppio nome non è un caso, visto che si tratta di un unico parco diviso in due aree tematiche collegate tra loro: Zoosafari è la zona dedicata agli animali, mentre Fasanolandia è un parco divertimenti con attrazioni meccaniche. L’area di maggior interesse è senz’altro quella faunistica: in 140 ettari di terreno potrete osservare da vicino circa 200 specie di animali, oltre ad assistere a spettacoli, eventi e mostre.

La peculiarità di questo parco sta nel fatto che un’area è interamente visitabile con l’auto , come un vero e proprio safari : in questo modo sarà possibile osservare gli animali in un’ottica più naturale, cercando di creare anche una sorta di interazione tra l’uomo e l’animale stesso. E quando avrete visto tutti gli animali, potrete spostarvi all’interno del parco divertimenti: mica male come idea, no? Ecco allora tutto quello che c’è da sapere sul parco Zoosafari Fasanolandia.

Dove si trova e come arrivare

Dove dormire vicino a fasanolandia, orari di apertura, prezzi dei biglietti, zoosafari: la visita, fasanolandia: le attrazioni meccaniche, sea lion acquarium, contatti e informazioni utili, zoosafari fasanolandia: come organizzare la visita.

Il parco si trova a Fasano a metà strada tra Bari e Brindisi . Per raggiungerlo in auto è possibile percorrere l’ autostrada A14 Adriatica imboccando il casello di uscita a Bari e proseguendo sulla SS16 in direzione sud verso Fasano. Chi proviene da sud, dalla Calabria o dalla Sicilia, potrà percorrere la SS106 Jonica verso Taranto e proseguire verso Fasano.

Per quanto riguarda il treno , la stazione di Fasano sulla tratta Bari – Lecce dista dal parco 2 Km, mentre chi arriva in aereo potrà fare riferimento agli aeroporti di Bari e di Brindisi, quasi equidistanti dal parco.

Per chi visita il parco c’è la possibilità di pernottare in alcune delle strutture convenzionate che si trovano in zona.

Ad esempio il Park Hotel Sant’Elia è un tre stelle in stile moderno che si trova a due passi dal parco. Tutte le camere sono arredate in stile moderno e gli ospiti della struttura potranno usufruire del ristorante interno e della piscina. A disposizione, oltre a camere standard, anche family room più grandi e spaziose.

In alternativa Castel Miramonti di Fasano ospita i propri clienti in una struttura più tradizionale con mattoni a vista ed offre camere recentemente ristrutturate dotate di tutti i comfort moderni. Pernottando presso una di queste strutture è possibile usufruire di sconti o di ingressi gratuiti nel parco.

Fasanolandia: orari e prezzi dei biglietti

Il parco è aperto tutti i giorni da Aprile a Settembre dalle 9:30 alle 15:00 il parco Zoosafari e dalle 10:00 alle 16:00 Fasanolandia. Durante gli altri mesi dell’anno, i due parchi seguono altri orari che variano a seconda della stagione. Aperture straordinarie sono quelle di ottobre, novembre e dicembre in occasione di Halloween e delle festività natalizie.

Il biglietto per un adulto a Zoosafari costa 30,00 € a persona. I bambini fino ai 10 anni pagano il biglietto ridotto di 24,00 €, mentre sotto i 4 anni entrano gratuitamente.

L’ingresso a Fasanolandia costa 18,00 €, e comprende le aree tematiche e 6 attrazioni a scelta, mentre le altre sono a pagamento: ogni attrazione costa 3,00 €, in pratica come se foste al lunapark! A ciò si aggiunge anche il Sea Lion Acquarium , il cui ingresso costa 10,00 €.

Attenzione: l’ingresso allo Zoosafari dà diritto anche all’ingresso a Fasanolandia, mentre con il ticket di Fasanolandia si accede alle sole aree pedonali dell’area Zoosafari.

La visita dei parchi: cose da sapere

Il parco faunistico è suddiviso in diverse aree a seconda delle varie specie di animali. Visitabile con la propria auto è la zona Safari, senz’altro quella più coinvolgente, dove si potranno osservare gli animali da vicino: leoni, tigri, giraffe, ma anche elefanti, orsi, zebre, dromedari, cervi, lama, antilopi e molti altri. Gli animali più innocui passeranno senz’altro a pochi centimetri dalla vostra auto, mentre gli altri pur non trovandosi all’interno delle gabbie, saranno sistemati comunque all’interno delle recinzioni di sicurezza.

Dopo aver terminato il Safari potrete passare alla visita pedonale : in questo caso sarà possibile osservare gli scimpanzé, i gorilla, i babbuini, i lemuri, i licaoni e gli uistiti. A questo punto sarete pronti a salire sul trenino per essere trasportati verso la zona denominata Metrozoo dove di trovano alcune specie acquatiche tra cascate e laghetti: qui sarà possibile incontrare l’orso polare, l’orso bruno, la foca, i canguri e anche i rinoceronti e il ghepardo.

All’interno di una grande tensostruttura è stato allestito il rettilario : in teche climatizzate di diversa dimensione si trovano ragni giganti, rettili, alligatori, scorpioni e molte altre specie che richiameranno senz’altro la vostra attenzione. Infine all’interno del Sealion Acquarium sarà possibile assistere ad interessanti spiegazioni da parte di esperti che racconteranno la vita di questi animali.

Spostandosi a Fasanolandia entrerete in un vero e proprio parco divertimenti che offre una ventina di attrazioni meccaniche. Gli amanti del brivido e dell’adrenalina potranno dirigersi verso la montagna russa, Mirage Rosso , oppure salire su Sputnik, la torre alta 40 metri per sfidare la forza di gravità.

Sempre per gli amanti del brivido c’è Super Jumper , l’ Ottovolante e l’originale montagna russa Euro Fighter , un percorso con discese mozzafiato .

Adatti a tutta la famiglia, invece, sono il Rapid River , l’ African River , il Cinema 4D , il Brucomela , la Casa Volante , la Ruota Panoramica , un simulatore di realtà virtuale e molte altre ancora. Perfette per i bambini sono la giostra dei cavalli, l’ Acquabomber , e l’ Autorodeo .

Leoni marini , otarie e pinguini : durante le sessioni specifiche potrete scoprire come l’acquario si prende cura di questi animali e capire come vivono in questo ambiente. Un’esperienza divertente e formativa che si aggiunge alla bella visita che già offrono i due parchi.

Per maggiori informazioni potete visitare il sito ufficiale dello Zoosafari Fasanolandia , dove potete trovare tante indicazioni utili per organizzare al meglio la vostra visita.

Hi my daughter 15yrs old is disabled and has european disability card . They have free entrance when we show the disability card or there is a lower entrance fee , Grazzie

Yes, non-self-sufficient disabled people or those in a group enter free of charge

Vorrei sapere se a dicembre i prezzi per i biglietti variano? Grazie.

Penso di no

Salve, il biglietto si può prenotare anche il giorno stesso? O è consigliabile un anticipo? Grazie

Per questo parco non è mai necessaria la prenotazione.

Per domenica 24 aprile 2022 bisogna avere il green pass per accedere al parco? grazie

A quanto ci risulta non occorre, ma è richiesto ai ristoranti (green pass base).

pagando il prezzo del biglietto di euro 28 si può visitare anche fantasilandia e con quali condizioni?

SI, confermo, però le tariffe sono appena aumentate, abbiamo aggiornato l’articolo.

Buona sera volevamo sapere se sabato 27 o domenica 28 novembre Fasanolandia sarà aperto…..grazie della vostra cordiale risposta

Basta guardare il calendario sul sito ufficiale: sarà aperto solo il 27 e solo il safari, dalle 10:00 alle 14:00. Fasanolandia è chiusa in questo periodo.

Buon pomeriggio volevo chiedere se a novembre è aperto il prezzo di ingresso grazie

Dal sito ufficiale: a novembre è aperto il 1, 2 e le domeniche.

Salve vorrei sapere se fasolandia e aperto per 11 Ottobre grazie mille

In quel giorno È aperto il Safari, mentre Fasanolandia sarà chiuso.

Salve, Non ho il green pass. Serve obbligatoriamente o posso usufruire del tampone rapido in loco? Attendo una risposta. Grazie

Il sito ufficiale non brilla per informazioni relativamente al covid, ma il green pass è obbligatorio in tutti i parchi di questo tipo. E’ possibile ottenerlo a fronte di un tampone rapido, ma devi informarti dove farlo entro 48 ore dalla visita, magari in qualche farmacia della zona.

Si è bello, ma per una famiglia numerosa anche di quattro persone costa parecchio,

Si, in effetti i prezzi non sono popolari, ma comunque giustificati dalla particolarità dell’attrazione.

The Fasano Zoosafari, biodiversity in 6 stages, including a surprise

In Europe in terms of the number of species it hosts. At 140 hectares, it is a true oasis of biodiversity and, in the spirit of modern zoos, plays an important role in protecting and safeguarding many endangered species. 

Close encounters

Immersed in nature and surrounded by a wide range of animals of all species, welcomed and cared for in complete freedom, the Zoosafari is a natural paradise where you can spend a day full of emotions and unforgettable encounters : meet the lion that yawns as soon as he wakes up, see the hippos bathing under the branches, make way for a line of busy zebras or let yourself be mimicked by a cheeky chimpanzee . Everywhere you look there is a surprise, something to explore.

The park is divided into various areas , plus the final surprise: the FasanoLandia park, dedicated to entertainment, the crowning glory of a visit to Fasano. 

First stage by car: the Safari

This is the “wildest” part, a 6-kilometre-long adrenaline-filled route that can only be completed by car, camper van or bus. A real safari among the centuries-old olive and carob trees of the Mediterranean maquis, where it is possible to observe, at close quarters, as many as 3,000 animals of 200 different species : the animals of the savannah, lions, tigers, giraffes, gazelles, elephants, zebras, bison ; roaming free and mixed with species belonging to different ecosystems: ostriches, llamas, camels and dromedaries , as well as deer and flamingos . 

Second stage on foot: the Primates' Area

After the car tour, the visit continues on foot. Completely immersed in the greenery, the pedestrian route has other thrilling surprises in store: you will enter the lively world of primates , who are often so astonishingly similar to us: from the beloved gorilla Riù, the real star of the park, to the hyperactive chimpanzees , and then the herd of very friendly lemurs, the docile alpacas , the lycaons and various large birds . 

Third stage with the Metrozoo: the Lake of Large Mammals

Once the pedestrian route is over, it's time to get back on board a new means of transport, this time the Metrozoo , a monorail with a panoramic view which, skimming over the tree tops, takes visitors into a new realm, this time an aquatic one: a small lake scattered with islets and topped by a small waterfall is home to a varied group of seals , hippos , singing gibbons and, surprisingly, brown bears and polar bears. And on the way back, there is the noisy monkey village with its very lively and busy guests.

Fourth stage: The Tropical Room, the Reptile House/Aquarium

Still within the pedestrian area, the itinerary continues indoors, in the Tropical Room , an air-conditioned tent covering about 700 square metres hosting reptiles , fish and various invertebrates . Here, visitors can get up close to all kinds of snakes , both poisonous and non-poisonous ( boas, pythons, rattlesnakes, vipers ), freshwater and land tortoises , saurians, iguanas, monitor lizards, geckos, chameleons, alligators , as well as giant spiders, scorpions and butterflies .

Gli esemplari vivono in uno stato di semi-libertà e sono ospitati in ambienti ideati per essere il più possibile simili a quelli naturali. Il percorso di visita comprende diverse aree tematiche che sono dedicate a differenti specie animali o a zone naturali specifiche.

La parte più avventurosa della visita al parco è sicuramente il safari , un percorso lungo circa 6 km che si snoda tra ulivi, carrubi e verde vegetazione. Semplicemente stando nel proprio veicolo (auto ma anche camper e bus) è possibile vivere un’esperienza davvero unica e percorrere un itinerario che porta alla scoperta di diversi ecosistemi.

In questa zona, infatti, si esplora il mondo dei Primati caratterizzato da gorilla, scimpanzé e agili lemuri. Poi il percorso a piedi prosegue con la possibilità di vedere alpaca, licaoni e diversi uccelli di grossa taglia.

Lago dei grandi mammiferi

Una volta finito il percorso pedonale non pensate che le emozioni siano terminate! Ora è arrivato il momento di salire a bordo di una monorotaia e di compiere un suggestivo tour che porta alla scoperta del Lago dei Grandi Mammiferi, considerato il vero polmone verde del parco. In questa zona il visitatore può osservare foche, ippopotami, gibboni, ma anche orsi bruni e orsi polari. L’itinerario continua, poi, con una tappa al bellissimo villaggio delle scimmie dove si possono vedere numerosi esemplari di questo animale in continuo movimento.
