Parco Safari delle Langhe, Safari park in Murazzano, Italy
Parco Safari delle Langhe is a safari park in Murazzano, in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, where animals live in open-air enclosures spread across a large area of land. The park is divided into a drive-through section, where visitors stay in their cars, and a walking area with more enclosed habitats.
The park opened in 1976 as one of the first places in northern Italy where visitors could drive through and watch animals roaming freely. Over the following decades, it grew and added new animal species and visitor areas.
The reptile house brings together tropical species that most visitors have never seen up close, offering a direct encounter with animals from distant parts of the world. It is one of the sections that tends to leave a strong impression, especially on younger visitors.
The drive-through section requires your own vehicle, as no cars are available to rent on site. Checking the park's website before your visit is a good idea, since opening days can vary by season.
The park sits in the Langhe hills, a region far better known for its vineyards and truffles than for wildlife, which makes seeing large African animals against a backdrop of rolling Piedmontese countryside an unexpected sight. This contrast between the local landscape and the animals is something visitors rarely anticipate before arriving.
