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.
The park opened in 2012 and introduced a new approach to animal parks in the Emilia-Romagna region. This model focused on keeping animals in larger, more open environments.
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.
Visitors can explore the grounds by personal vehicle, electric car, or park train on a route that covers about 4 kilometers. It is best to plan your visit carefully, as the park operates with limited daily hours.
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.
