Werribee Open Range Zoo, Safari zoo in Wyndham, Australia.
Set across extensive grasslands, Werribee Open Range Zoo maintains African animals including rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and lions in naturalistic savannah environments.
The zoo began operations in 1983 as part of the Victorian government's initiative to create additional animal facilities beyond the Melbourne Zoo.
The land where Werribee Zoo stands holds deep significance for Aboriginal peoples, who maintained connection with this territory for thousands of years.
Visitors can reach the zoo by taking a train from Melbourne to Werribee station, followed by Bus 439 that stops directly at the entrance.
The safari bus tour takes visitors through grassland habitats where animals roam freely, creating an experience similar to African wildlife reserves.
