Free Safari bus
A visit to our Zoo isn’t complete without a safari through the savannah!
Once on board you will be transported through arid landscapes and savannah grasslands to explore the open plains and learn about some of the world’s most endangered species.
From the Critically Endangered Asian Wild Horse to majestic giraffe traversing the iconic savannah, the 40 minute Safari Tour is one of the Zoo’s most popular experiences.
The tour includes live commentary from a Safari Guide as you move through the grasslands of Asia, North America and Africa, spotting bison, antelope, rhino, zebra and ostrich and you'll also learn more about the work of communities in Northern Kenya to help protect wildlife through the Beads for Wildlife program.
Included free in your admission price when booking a day session only - not currently available during late sessions. Our safari tour is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all ages.
