This safari park gives you exceptional experience. The ability to visit the park by driving your own vehicle provides a unique and flexible way to explore at your own pace. Offering unlimited in-and-out access to the driving routes allows you to take your time and maximize your time spent observing the animals. In addition to the self-guided drive-through option, the park also offers a bus tour that follows the same routes. However, the key differentiator is that the bus tour allows you to feed the animals, including lions and elephants. This hands-on interaction must make for a truly thrilling and memorable encounter with the large wildlife. Overall, this safari park appears to provide visitors with a well-rounded experience. The combination of the independent driving tour and the guided feeding tour offers the best of both worlds - the freedom to explore at your own pace, as well as the opportunity for up-close animal interactions. It's easy to see why this spot would be highly recommended to anyone seeking an immersive wildlife experience.

The Safari bus tickets sell out quickly, so they may sell out or you might get a late timeslot a few hours away. The park opens at 10 am, but they start selling tickets at the gate at around 9:30. We got there at 9:15 am on a weekday and there were 5 cars and a tour bus already waiting in front of us. We luckily got the 10:15 am timeslot, but I saw others getting a later time slot. We were given a tray of food between my partner and I. Two pieces for the bears, three pieces of meat for the lions, there pieces of vegetables for the elephants, and 10-15 pellets to feed deer and camel. There are some animals you can't feed. Our bus driver had a short temper and shouted at some fellow tourists for feeding other animals. He was quite intimidating actually. If you get a driver that is a large short bear-like man, make sure to read and follow the instructions! You can also drive your own car through the zoo afterwards and visit the farm to hand feed some deer, monkeys, donkeys, and guinea pigs. Overall, it was a unique experience.

What an unbelievable and unexpected experience in the middle of Kyushu. A one-off fee per person at the gate allows you access to all the facilities including the drive through safari. Whilst the restrurant needs a overhaul (very dated and average food options - cash only), this wouldn’t dampen the spirits once the gates to the safari were opened. Couldn’t help but play the Jurassic Park soundtrack as we drove on through, really added to the excitement and atmosphere. The park is set upon ample space and as such, the animals appeared happy and well cared for. If you’re visiting by car, I wouldn’t even consider the buses (which seemingly book out) as the self drive experience was awesome. The only animals we didn’t glimpse were the hyenas, so not sure if they’re no longer on site. Skip Yufuin and come here instead!

Visiting the Kyushu Natural Zoo African Safari was an absolutely incredible experience! We drove our own vehicle through the safari, getting unbelievably close to a variety of animals, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes and many more. Seeing these majestic creatures roam freely in a naturalistic environment was both thrilling and unforgettable. What made it even more special was how much our toddler loved the experience. She was fascinated by the animals, and it was such a joy to see her excitement each time we spotted something new. The safari is well-organized, safe, and offers a truly immersive experience—perfect for families with young children. This place is a must-visit for families visiting Kyushu. Highly recommended!

Visiting the Kyushu Wildlife Park African Safari was an absolutely thrilling experience! The drive-through safari allowed us to see majestic lions, elephants, giraffes, and more, up close from our car that it felt like a real African adventure! The highlight was the caged bus tour where we got to feed the lions, elephants, deer and more. It was an exhilarating and rare opportunity, especially for kids! But the surprises didn’t end there. The park’s interactive zone let us get up close with friendly horses, fluffy rabbits, and tiny hamsters. Those are definitely my kids’ favorite. The animals looked well-cared for, and the park was clean and well-organized. Totally worth it for families and animal lovers.
