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 door, Fasolandia.

“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 experiencing there.

We visited the zoo safari with children. It was a very nice experience. It starts with a car tour. First, you go through an area with goats, antelopes, and other similar animals that roam freely around the car. I recommend having full insurance. If you bring carrots, you can feed them — it’s a lot of fun. Then you pass through zebras and camels, which are a bit more aggressive when approaching the car. For them, it’s also good to have your own food. For us, the best part was with the giraffes. The staff will give you carrots to feed them. The giraffes are very gentle and amusing. My advice is to bring a bag of carrots and cut them into pieces, so you have enough for more animals. When entering the area with dangerous animals, you must keep the windows closed. After the car tour, the walking tour begins. The most interesting part for us was the small train that enters the monkey enclosure. You can prepare some peanuts for that. The monkeys grab the bars of the train and take the peanuts with their fingers. It lasts a few minutes. After finishing all the tours, you can go to the ZooLand amusement area. We bought a ticket for 12 euros — it includes 6 attractions. You can choose between rides suitable for younger or older children, and multiple people can use the same ticket for one or more attractions. The whole experience was amazing.

The fee is worth for the drive Safari only, the normal Zoo was average seen so many times. The drive path takes around 90 min, but we drove it more than 2 hours (enough space to stand aside to let others bypass you). Although the rule's windows must be closed, most drive with windows down (except when passing the lions and tigers). Animals are used to people and cars, they lean their head through windows letting you pet them and feed them - the best for that are giraffes and zebras. We had rice cakes, peaches and bananas with us. If you plan feeding them buy some food beforehand, as the road sellers before the park offer a small bag for 5 Euros. The drive around the tigers is unbelievable - they're 5, 6 of them on a roundabout with a tree and a small pond. They played and posed so we drove 3 circles around. Driving 10 met from the lions was so thrilling, and after that along the way you meet elephants, rhinos, camels, buffalos,... Completing the drive you park your car (extra 3 Euros) and enter the normal Zoo. Here, I would point out the Monkey train - caged train which takes you through hundreds of monkeys jumping on it. The rest of the Zoo is quite average and was underwhelming after the Safari drive. To conclude - no matter you're with kids or not, this is really one of the best attractions in entire Puglia region.

Fasanolandia is a mixture of zoo and adventureland where you drive with your own car through reservoirs with lions, tigers, giraffes etc. (26€/person) After that tour, you park the car at a parking lot (2,50€/car/day) and go by feet through an adventure park and a zoo (f.e. Driving with a special car through a horde of real monkeys, which in return climb all over the car. But don't worry, that car is driven by an employee). Actually I was pretty sceptic about the whole thing, given the animals are around cars all the time, but I had the feeling they were pretty content and interested in the visitors. Zebras and giraffes look through your car window and say hello, some oft them even let you pet them. It was a fun day for my boyfriend and I. We advise you to drive there in the morning, because sitting in the car during the tour without an a/c is pretty hard to handle (we've been there with a VW T3 1980 - nothing more to say, right?) You won't have to wait for long if you arrive between 9.30 and 10.00. After that you might have to wait in a long line of cars and won't find a parking space near the entrance. We arrived at 9.45 and it was the perfect time. If you take some carrots with you, some animals will be really happy about it (and some of them will be a bit too excited, so be careful 😂).

Like getting inside a paint of a kids story. It is a very beautiful and very unique town south of Italy. Is a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof. Their style of construction is specific to the Itria Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Apulia. Trulli were generally constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses or as permanent dwellings by small proprietors or agricultural labourers. In the town of Alberobello, in the province of Bari, whole districts contain dense concentrations of trulli. The golden age of trulli was the nineteenth century, especially its final decades, which were marked by the development of wine growing. The Italian term trullo (from the Greek word τρούλος, cupola) refers to a house whose internal space is covered by a dry stone corbelled or keystone vault. Trullo is an Italianized form of the dialectal term, truddu, used in a specific area of the Salentine peninsula (i.e. Lizzaio, Maruggio, and Avetrana, in other words, outside the Murgia dei Trulli proper), where it is the name of the local agricultural dry stone hut. Trullo has replaced the local term casedda (pl. casedde) (Italian casetta, pl. casette), which was used by locals in the Murgia to call this type of house. A stonemason specializing in the building of trulli is a trullisto or trullaro in Italian. The corresponding dialectal term is caseddaro (caseddari in the plural).

The " trullo sovrano " is so called because in Alberobello is the only one with a second floor consisting in one room , it is furnished and for 2 € you can visit it . In a short some explanation about the " trulli " : originally they were built to house equipment used by farmers and they were scattered in the fields of this area of Apulia. When Albrobello was only a wooded area, a new taxation of the kingdom of Naples was enacted on the houses. To favor the transformation of the wood into an agricultural area, the lord of this fief allowed the peasants to build their house in the shape of a trullo precisely to avoid it, this is the period in which this town developed. Then the law changed and things changed; most of Alberobello trulli have been replaced with common buildings but two districts have survived as they were and are now a UNESCO site.

My visit to Trullo Sovrano in Puglia was an unforgettable experience. This unique structure, with its fascinating history and charming architecture, truly captures the essence of the region. Walking through the intricately designed rooms, I felt transported back in time, marveling at how these cone-shaped dwellings were ingeniously constructed. The knowledgeable guides on-site provided captivating stories about the trullo's history and the lifestyle of its former inhabitants, making the visit both educational and enchanting. A special mention goes to Riok Steven's 'Travel Guide,' which I purchased on Amazon. The guide was instrumental in planning my trip, offering detailed insights and practical tips that ensured I didn't miss any key highlights.

Why so much garbage in certain places, plastic ppl leave cigarette butts all over, I hate this no matter where I visit. It's too lazy not to pick it up and put it in a trash receptacle somewhere or put it in a bag and throw it out later. This was the negative .

Per la natura avrei dato più di 5 stelle, ma per la conservazione meno di 0. Lo stato di (non) conservazione e il deterioramento sistematico delle dune nel tempo non sono imputabili solo alla pessima gestione dell'ente regionale preposto, anche o turisti e i bagnanti che occupano la lunga spiaggia fanno il loro sporco lavoro di degradazione. I rifiuti sono una piccola parte del problema, ma la mancanza di barriere (steccati, palizzate, muretti a secco...) danno l'occasione a chiunque di scavalcare le dune e addentrarsi nell'oasi distruggendo flora e paesaggio. Spero che questo mio "j'accuse" porti a un cambiamento delle politiche e di lavoro di consolidamento e conservazione del patrimonio naturale della zona ostunese, nonché pugliese.

Dopo una piacevole passeggiata lungo la spiaggia a partire da Torre Canne si può dire che il luogo a fine settembre è molto rilassante e il silenzio è rotto solo dal suono delle onde, che si spengono e scompaiono nella sabbia senza lasciare traccia, se non il bagnato. Dietro la duna, che corre lungo la spiaggia, si vedono i campi coltivati e gli alberi nella vasta piana ai piedi delle colline. Da notare il fatto molto importante, che lungo il percorso non abbiamo visto alcun pezzo di plastica, come bottiglie, contenitori, sacchetti o simili. Abbiamo solo raccolto e portato al sicuro alcuni pezzi in vetro, residui di contenitori andati in frantumi.

Pur trattandosi di una costa fortemente antropizzata, c'è da osservare come la fascia più a ridosso del mare delle dune costiere, ricoperte dalla bellissima macchia mediterranea, sia rimasta, in molti punti intatta. Il colore del mare Adriatico (specie quando è calmo) e le suggestive "calette", che si alternano agli scogli, completano un quadro molto suggestivo. Per scoprire un ambiente simile, ma più incontaminato, consiglio assolutamente di visitare la Riserva Naturale di Torre Guaceto, magari evitando il mese di Agosto ed i Weekend, per sfuggire all'affollamento...

Maria PatronelliMaria Patronelli

Se si cerca la tranquillità, questo è il posto più adatto! Un lungo sentiero che dalla strada porta verso il mare prima... e un tratto notevole da percorrere affianco alle dune dopo, in direzione Ostuni... ti portano su una spiaggia paradisiaca. Nei giorni in cui non c'è vento, si riesce a vedere dove il fondale è privo di scogli, x la felicità dei più piccoli. In questo periodo in cui è meglio evitare i luoghi affollati, è l'alternativa giusta x godersi il mare. Attenzione solo a lasciare il proprio mezzo sulla strada...il rischio è una multa!
