Zoo Safari

Zoo Safari is a drive-through wildlife park in São Paulo where visitors can observe animals from inside their own vehicles or by using a van service provided by the facility. The route passes through different zones designed for various species including deer, spider monkeys, ostriches, camels, llamas, lions, and tigers.

The facility opened in 2001 as an expansion of the traditional São Paulo Zoo, introducing a new way for visitors to experience wildlife through vehicle tours. This drive-through concept represented a different approach to animal observation compared to the conventional zoo format.

The facility introduces visitors to wildlife from around the world and helps people understand how different animals live and behave in their habitats. It serves as a place where locals and visitors develop interest in protecting nature and connect with species they would rarely encounter otherwise.

You can drive through in your own car or use the van service offered by the park, depending on your preference. Plan for enough time to complete the route, as there are several zones to pass through and animals to observe.

The park features designated photography stations where visitors can capture images of animals without barriers or cages blocking the view. These open sightlines offer better opportunities for photography compared to traditional zoo settings.
