Safari Zoological Park — Attraction in Havana

Wow! From the moment we entered the parking lot. My birthday girl was enthusiastic about her big day at the safari adventure. We stepped right into that excitement by swinging the door open. She entered a world she watched only on television videos. And was thrilled to see what the day held.

We purchased the tour and a package that allowed her to hold , cuddle the furry sweet little babies , including a baby kangaroo !

Out daughter Trinity was wide-eyed and took in all the beautiful amazing animals supplied by our Father in heaven . We give him all the glory for his creation. And we know the owners and the team were sold out to loving them and the care for the animals were evident.

We heard a special testimony of how the Lord kept it from closing early on when it was established. They admit the hand of God to this day sustaining the safari animals. That brings you a sense of peace and awe as you are on the tour .

Our experience was delightful and unique. Around every bend was a 5 star well thought out tour guide. With a gentle heart for each animal. From bears-to -reptiles. The day was actually perfect weather. We saw more than one bear, white tigers❤️, and the awesome Aslan the Lion. They all looked pretty stoic and even I wanted to stay longer to watch them show their beauty and personalities.

It all did come to an end. And there were many more at the Safari. And they were all exciting to my daughter. We followed her around through her adventure and to its end where she held the babies. She will replay the memories of our visit and speak highly of her birthday wish come true, so it will stick in her heart for a lifetime ❤️🙏.

Her smiles were worth the blessed 5 hours we were there. I'm so grateful for the memories. For all 5 of our family members.

Trinity felt special. And thanks to the owners and staff for making it all possible.

I know the 5 star 🌟 seems like enough. But you'll agree when you come it just doesn't seem enough.

Thank you all again for the beautiful day you provided. We will be back in the near future.

This is the most amazing zoo you'll ever visit. You can tell the owners love and care for each animal like their own family. Most animals are raised here and live their whole life here, including the famous tiger "pups" which are now 17 years old.

The tour gets you up close and personal, with you feeding cookies/banana many animals from primates to wolves (yes the wolves will catch them mid air!) They feed every carnivore a snack on tour so you are within feet of them, and hear them growl and laugh, as is the case with the hyenas. Every animal has a story, and they all have names and various quirks.

The tour last about two hours, and every year they had new enclosures and animals. The owner, Tom, is out and about while tours go on and will even go into the bear enclosure and feed him an oatmeal cookie. On hot days they even give out water, to make your visit fun and comfortable. They also have wagons available for kids and the park is mostly shaded and cool in the heat, it is also wheelchair friendly.

The encounters are the best part, and they vary from season to season. You get a hands on and SAFE encounter with these babies, such as lemurs and wolves. Every animal is treated with care and compassion and not forced to be held, but rather given positive reinforcement. They always put the animals first. You also get to spend as much time as you want with the animal, or hold them more than once. You are family here.

Prices are very reasonable. 12.95 for a tour, and encounters start as low as $30 per person. (tour and feed sack included) (I paid to hold all the reptiles, a kangaroo joey, a wolf, and a fox) But let me tell you, it's worth the price! No where else can you get such a personal, hands on experience. They also strive for 100% sanctification and will take any concern seriously.

The BEST hidden gem...

I brought my sons (13 y.o. and 3 y.o.) today and we had such a wonderful time! This was our first visit and we did the VIP package. It was well worth the money and the hour long drive. We got to hold a lot of animals, including a lemur! We were able to bottle feed baby camels and deer, and give animal crackers and bananas to many of the caged animals.

You don't wander around on your own like in a big zoo. Instead you travel with a small group and tour guide. This allowed us to see the lions, tigers, bear, and wolves being fed. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals. He helped my 3 year old spray water for the tigers (who apparently love to get wet)! The animals all appeared well taken care of and happy. There was none of that pacing back and forth with dull eyes that you sometimes see with animals at zoos. These animals were lively and paying attention to their surroundings.

The owners are very kind and you can tell they love what they do. The whole experience was much more personalized than any zoo or animal park we've ever been to. We will be returning...
