El San Diego Zoo Safari Park has announced the opening of Safari Excursions, a check-in spot and gathering place for your safari. Safari Excursions is an experience of connection and community and an addition to the park’s safari offerings.
The launch of Safari Excursions marks the completion of a project years in the making. Located about 30 minutes north of the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is the place to make lasting memories while experiencing wildlife up close.
Safari Excursions serves as the hub for all safari departures. Guests can check-in, meet their guides, and take in the surroundings before their excursion begins. It is a starting point for a safari adventure, inviting guests to share stories as a safari adventure draws closer. The new Safari Excursions check-in area has the story of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park woven into each detail and spotlights San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s conservation efforts across the globe.
Safari highlights include:
A Behind-the-Scenes Safari allows guests to venture deep into the Safari Park and get a closer look at their favorite wildlife. During these small-group tours, guests venture to exclusive areas not accessible to the public, where a knowledgeable guide shares how wildlife is cared for and conservation work carried out in San Diego and around the globe.
On a Wildlife Safari, guests will travel in the back of a covered, open-air safari truck with an expert guide as they venture into one of the expansive savanna habitats to get an up-close view of a variety of birds and mammals.
Roar & Snore Safari is an overnight camping experience that overlooks the East Africa savanna habitat, the Safari Park’s largest. Seasoned campers may enjoy a Classic or Vista tent, while those who prefer a more luxurious experience should check out the Premium tents. Campers enjoy walking tours, meals, and up-close wildlife encounters.
Safari Excursions is open to the public and invites guests to embark on their unique safari experiences. Safari Excursions is designed with inclusivity and universal accessibility in mind, offering a fully ADA-accessible space and ensuring every guest can explore comfortably. With each visit to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo, wildlife allies help support the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in its commitment to saving species worldwide by uniting expertise in wildlife care and conservation science with a dedication to inspiring passion for nature.
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance supports innovative conservation science through global partnerships and groundbreaking efforts at the world-famous San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park, both leading zoological institutions and accredited botanical gardens.
