Welcome to the world of wild adventure with animals. From ground and trees to water, you can find all types of species in these 480 acres of land at Safari World Bangkok, opened in 1988.

A True Wild Experience At Safari World Bangkok
Unlike traditional zoos, where animals are kept in a small enclosure, this animal park Bangkok allows all of them to roam freely around. It's a safari bus tour where you encounter gemsboks, hippos, sea lions, tigers, giraffes, and more.
This drive-through takes about 40 minutes to complete. At the entrance, you will find various animals from Asia and Africa, such as zebras, camels, ostriches, and various subspecies of deer.
You can also watch some large free-flying water birds nesting in trees. The park also has rhinos and giraffes in this area. After 15 minutes of drive, you will enter the carnivore region to witness the wild side of nature, including Bengal tigers, lions, and Asian black bears.
Note: Most animals are free to move and likely to be chilling and sleeping during the day, especially nocturnal animals.
