Safari Ravenna, Zoological park in Ravenna, Italy
Safari Ravenna is a wildlife park in Ravenna where more than 1,000 animals from around 100 species live in open spaces without visible fences. The grounds are divided into different zones, including a walking area, baboon island, lemur island, and separate habitats for great apes and smaller primates.
Safari Ravenna opened in 2012 beside the Mirabilandia amusement park, on a site covering 340,000 square metres. It combined a drive-through safari area for large mammals and birds with a smaller traditional zoo holding a reptile house, primates, an Australian section and domestic animals.
The park runs educational programs where specialists teach visitors about wildlife protection, animal behavior, and conservation efforts. These activities help people understand why protecting nature matters.
The safari route runs 4 km and can be driven in your own vehicle or covered with the park's train and electric cars. The pedestrian area, with Baboon Island, Lemur Island, the Chimpanzee Oasis and the Reptile House, is walked or reached by the park's rail train.
What sets this park apart is that most animals can be observed by visitors during their drive through open habitats without traditional cages or tight barriers. This allows for a more natural way to watch animal behavior during your visit.
