Getting started

Head to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and present your ticket at the entrance for validation. Once inside, you can explore the Park on foot and plan your day around its trails, habitats, presentations, and included experiences. The Park is spread across a large outdoor area, so expect some walking and hills; accessibility shuttles, wheelchairs, and ECVs are available for guests who need mobility assistance.

What to expect

San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Discover wildlife across spacious habitats inspired by Africa, Asia, Australia, and other regions, with trails and viewing areas designed around the animals' environments. Spend your day moving between wildlife encounters, daily presentations, and the included Africa Tram, or add a separately ticketed safari for a more guided experience.

Features:

• Africa Tram: Take an approximately 25-minute narrated ride around the savanna habitats, where you can look for giraffes, rhinos, and other wildlife from a safari-style vehicle. The ride is included with admission, requires no reservation, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Expansive wildlife habitats: Walk through a large outdoor park where animals are housed in spacious environments that reflect their natural settings, giving you different ways to observe wildlife throughout the day.

• Journey into the Wild: Attend a daily presentation at Benbough Amphitheater, where wildlife care specialists introduce animal ambassadors and explain their connection to global conservation efforts.

• Wildlife viewing: Look for species such as cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos, gorillas, and other animals as you move through the Park's different habitats and trails. Wildlife sightings can vary, so specific animals are not guaranteed.

• Walkabout Australia: Explore Australian wildlife areas where you can encounter animals such as kangaroos and platypuses while following the Park's walking trails.

• Plan your day with the Park app: Use the GPS-enabled app to check the day's schedule, locate animals and dining options, import your ticket, and create a personalised day plan.

• Accessible ways to explore: Most pedestrian paths accommodate mobility devices, while an accessibility shuttle connects key areas of the Park. Wheelchairs and scooters can also be rented near the entrance, subject to availability.
