Zoosafari Fasanolandia — Attraction in Fasano

Great place to take the kids or any other animal lovers. I recommend stopping at the vendors selling carrots and peanuts right before the entrance to park and purchasing the €5 pack of 2 bags carrots and 1 bag peanuts. Next time we'll get 2 more bags of carrots and skip the peanuts since we didn't do the monkey train. Driving into the park and feeding the horses, donkeys, goats, and deer is the first stop. From there you drive through lion country and it was amazing. Seeing these animals so close and roaming around was a great experience. Same can be said for the tigers. The highlight for us was feeding the giraffes and zebras! It can be a little intimidating at first and the animals have no fear, they just want those carrots! 🤣 This is where the extra bags come in handy because we had 3 kids feeding these awesome animals and we went through them quickly. Be prepared to have a giraffe or zebra's head completely in your vehicle waiting for their treat. Kids loved this part and it was great watching their reactions to the animals. After finishing the driving tour, you pay €2,50 to park and continue the walking tour. It was really hot when we went so most of the animals that were outside were staying in the shade or out of sight to stay cool, even though it was late morning. You can take a train to mammal island to see polar and collared bears and baboons on the way back. The reptile house was fun for our snake and alligator loving kids and it provided some shade from the heat. Overall, we had a great time and the driving tour was our favorite. I wish there was a reduced price to just experience the driving tour since we spent €28 per adult and €22 per child 4 years and older. You can leave after the driving tour but for €100 we wanted to experience as much as we could while there. Next time we'll come during the fall or winter season so it's not as hot for us or the animals. You can also purchase tickets for the theme park next...

“Animals living in the traffic jam” is the best description for this place. You are gonna wait at least for an hour to get into the Zoosafari. The worst part is that there are no rules neither in the road to reach zoo nor in the zoo itself. People drive the way is convenient for them, not taking a look at where another car goes. There are frequently cars in three lines, which believe me is gonna stress you out a lot to cope with for at least an hour while discovering that part of the zoo.

There are a lot of signs that it is forbidden to feed animals and you must keep your windows closed. However, nearly nobody complies with rules. Moreover, the stuff isn’t helping either by just ignoring the rules.

Animals look very slim and no surprise they are trying to get some snacks from the cars passing by, no blame to those cuties.

I think the worst part is the way stuff is addressing those animals in front of visitors. We were observing the case of people who are feeding animals by throwing veggies from the car driving in a high speed among animals scaring them to run around and loudly laughing. This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour. I hope those people will be fired for their attitude.

Overall, don’t sponsor this place by going there, we hope it can shut down and those animal can be saved by being moved anywhere else rather than staying at that horrible place.

We also read comments about paths we would need to do by foot and unfortunately decided against after reading all of the horrors animals are...

At an entertainment level, for adults or children, this was excellent. To see lions and tigers so close and to have a giraffes, camels and zebras stick their heads in the car and almost lick your neck and cheeks was a delight and our young daughter loved it so much.

We had a great day at Zoosafari. We arrived about 10.00, and were able to make our way straight into the Safari. The animals all seemed very comfortable and happy - we were treated with the giraffes, zebras and camels coming up to be fed at the car window so do make sure you purchase some food (carrots, apples, peanuts, etc) on your way in. The animals were all out, and active which was great to see rather than seeing them tucked behind wire fences, sleeping in a normal zoo enclosure.

The walking part of the zoo was also different since there are theme park style rides to take you around the animals. The monkey train was another unique experience as you are taken in a 'cage car' right in the middle of what looked like many colonies of baboons who jump on the ride, fight and play right there next to you. . Also be sure to take a boat ride around the small lake - it will give you the possibility to see the baboons right next to you and be able to ruffle their fur.

The amusement park was OK too. But we were there not for it. The park is not small yet not too big to have you tired by the end of it. There were no queues, and not too hot so September is a great time to visit.

This is not to be missed great fun for all ages! We...
