Safari — Attraction in Ramat Gan

If you're looking for an immersive safari experience in Israel, the Safari Park in Ramat Gan is a must-visit. As someone who had never been to a safari before, I had a general understanding of what to expect thanks to YouTube videos - but this experience was infinitely better than I could have imagined.

Driving your car through the park and hitting the brakes when zebras cross the road is an incredible experience that you won't soon forget. The lions' zone is particularly impressive, with electrified fences and huge gates that make you feel like you're in a scene straight out of a Jurassic Park movie.

The hippos in the lake are equally awe-inspiring, though I have to admit that I panicked a bit when they started moving! Inside the safari park, there's also a wonderful zoo with all kinds of fascinating species to explore. Throughout the park, I was impressed by how much the Safari administration has done for the animals and endangered species - they definitely earned my respect.

When visiting the park, I truly felt like a visitor in a land of animals. It's an incredibly immersive experience that I highly recommend to anyone, especially families with kids. Just make sure to buy tickets online in advance to take advantage of the discount for Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv citizens.

Overall, the Safari Park in Ramat Gan is an incredible experience that everyone should try at least once. It's a great way to connect with nature and learn more about the incredible animals that...

We've had a great day out with my neices and nephew at the Safari in Ramat Gan. Was lovely driving around the open space seeing the wildlife. Was a bit disappointing for the kids when we've got to the lions area as the lions were resting in the high grass and far from the road so all the kids could see was one of the lion's leg popping out of the grass... And they were waiting to see lions... In the zoo part we've had great fun but mainly because we rented a golf cart. Which was not cheap. But was the only way for 4 years old to see the full zoo which is massive. They wouldn't be able to walk it all without getting exhausted at the end. It's a beautiful zoo with lots of animals from all over the world. Was great for the kids (I was extremely impressed by Yossi the elephant! I mean I saw elephants in Thailand, this one was twice if not triple their size! He was huge!). There was a lovey picnic zone there, and if you didn't pack your lunch there was an Italian restaurant on the premesis too. I gave it 4 starts and not 5 as I think the golf carts should be cheaper or even combined with the entrance ticket, at least for families with young children or people with mobility problems (my mom has a broken leg and that's the only reason we rented this cart but otherwise we would walk it all not realising how big it is and the kids would have missed out on a lot of areas...) Highly recommend to visit, at any age, but especially...

Although the drive-through part of the park was lovely (with relatively few people stopping to feed sandwiches and Bamba to the animals), the rest of the zoo was horrifying. The animals were all begging for food and people had backpacks full of snacks that they had brought specifically to feed them. In this picture you see the bears begging for food and food wrappers down in the water in the enclosure. The woman in the picture threw them a sandwich and then threatened violence to the zoo employee who asked her to stop. I personally saw at least 10 different people feeding animals even though there are signs everywhere that it's forbidden. If the zoo can't keep people under control and keep the animals safe they should close down. From a visitor perspective, something like 50% of the zoo patrons were smoking cigarettes, which is very problematic when it's crowded. Also, zoo visitors can rent golf carts and drive around, so it's not really safe to let your little kids run free or they risk...
