    Up close with Africa

    Nandkumar_G, Apr 2026
    Amazing tour of African animals as close as it can get. Our tour guide made it fun. Will def go again.

    Very informative...

    angela_m, Feb 2026
    Very informative excellent experience a must do and it’s small tour which is even better to be able to ask question to the guide

    our visit to the zoo was...

    Ting_X, Feb 2026
    our visit to the zoo was disappointing. we encountered very few animals, and the total duration of the visit was only about 60 minutes.

    Fun up close look at the animals

    Lorry_B, Jan 2026
    We chose this tour to see that animals in an open range, not in cages. It did not disappoint. It was a wonderful tour

    Recommended… great experience

    Jane_J, Jun 2025
    Great fun… never been before so I didn’t know what to expect. The deluxe safari is great because it’s a comfortable ride and we wernt all wedged in. Got up close with the animals where as the normal ride pretty much sticks to the dirt roads

    Very bad

    Shubham_J, Apr 2025
    Experience was really bad. There is no instruction that how long before you have to reach where you have to go and nobody over there helps you we were there one hour early find a park and by 1230. Our slot was booked for 1 pm but we reached there by 1230 and nobody helped us no one and when we reached the counter at 12:45 they said that you can’t get on board because it will take a few minutes to reach there but it’s already left.

    n/a

    I believe the Elephant Walk should have been included in the Deluxe experience. Our guide was a little too chatty and we spent time just sitting around filling in time, when we could have easily been looking at the elephants.

    Wonderful experience

    Claudia_N, Sep 2024
    Wonderful experience. We were able to take a much closer look to the beautiful animals, which is not possible if you go on the regular safari, and the tour guide was knowledgable and accomodating. With very short distance from the animals we were able to take amazing photos and videos, creating a wonderful memory of this day out with my family. Highly Recommended

    Brilliant guide and venue

    Sandeep_A, Sep 2024
    Brontë was a brilliant guide, friendly and helpful. The safari is a private, comfortable and detailed experience. We were lucky to see all the animals and had fun and informative commentary from our guide.

    Excellent experience, worth every penny

    Natalie_N, Jul 2024
    The guide was professional. The view was stunning, so close with the animals. It was so special and educational.

    Really worth paying extra...

    Annalice_M, Dec 2023
    Really worth paying extra for the safari. Excellent presenter very good knowledge of all the animals. Nice amenities had a nice lunch. Love the work they do caring for the animals. Lucky to see the first day out for the baby giraffes.

    Not very Good

    patriciawong, Aug 2023
    Never went I put in wrong dates and Viator would not let me change them ..so just kept my money ..no longer doing anything through Viator after over 20 years with them

    Amazing encounter with wild life

    Yuyin_H, Jul 2023
    I enjoyed how we got a chance to get a closer encounter with wild animals and listen to the funny stories about animals and detailed explanations by the guide. Absolutely enjoyed the whole tour.

    Our day in Werribee open range zoo

    Nana_N, Jun 2023
    We had a great time in the zoo. We was hold up for a bit at the counter as the customer service could not allocate the booking thru 3 party however all is good. They were very polite and have a very positive vibe !

    Amazing Experience

    Madonna_B, May 2023
    This tour was a wonderful experience. We had a most awesome guide with us who was very knowledgeable on each animal subject. Even though the Zoo offers a free open range tour, the particular tour we did was an added extra that my friends and I thought was well worth the added expense. You get a little closer, and more time to look at the animals. I would definitely recommend this tour

    Thanks

    Francesco_S, Mar 2023
    Everything was perfect . It has been a gift to my girlfriend , she thanked me a lot .we spent 4 hours in the zoo

    Our family trip to Weribee zoo

    Tony_J, Jan 2023
    The Weribee open range zoo experience was really good in that we were able to have a closer experience with the wild life. We booked the premium one that costed around $100 per person. Whilst it is worth, we didn't think that the experience was worth charging that per head. And that is not a criticism of the people who worked so hard to give us that great experience, its just that we are from Sydney and we have lots of options at a much lower rate. Our best experience was the close up with the Rhinos, where the driver/guide risked to give us the closest but had to quickly drive away from the rhinos that were getting a bit agitated....!!!

    There is a free ride in...

    Abhinay_P, Jan 2023
    There is a free ride in the bus and it is free of cost. But they charged me $96 each for off road safari ride which is quite expensive and not worthable.

    Great experience for the kids

    Mark_C, Dec 2022
    Very enjoyable experience! Confirming the booking and entry to the park was seamless with the viator booking We booked the Off-Road Safari which was totally worth it, the tour guide was super passionate about the animals and we drove up literally less than 5m away from Giraffes, Rhinos and Zebra. The kids had a great time

    Amazing

    Beny_R, Dec 2022
    Amazing Safari experience the tour guide was very explicit and very knowledgeable a fun way to see animals in an open area.

    Absolutely fantastic!

    Anita_R, Dec 2022
    Absolutely fantastic! The truck is set up so well with seating so everyone gets a view and they go off road to interact closely with the animals but with respect to the animals. The guide talked about their fabulous breeding programs throughout. I would definitely recommend

    Born Free

    Jeremy_T, Dec 2022
    The most memorable part was seeing the animals running around so freely. Especially the zebras and giraffes. Definitely a different zoo experience for my family.

    An experience you'll never forget

    Letitia_T, Nov 2022
    With an energetic guide we were boarded the travel truck and then we travelled into the grounds to get up close to beautiful animals like Rhinoceros, giraffes, and more. The guide was knowledgeable and informative. The open area is as it would be in the wild. Beautiful setting, fantastic animals and worth the money to do this

    Excellent safari

    Celeste_S, Nov 2022
    Had such a great time on this informative safari. The giraffes come up pretty close to the jeep. There were 2 of us plus our guide. He was very informative. We saw lots of African animals plus some bison, camels, and Mongolian horses. The weather was 23c in October so you could wear light clothes while at the zoo.

    The experience was amazing!

    Lynelle_B, Jul 2022
    Seeing large animals like giraffes and rhinos right in their own habitat was amazing. It was also fun to see other animals like the lions and kangaroos in a suitable habitat to what they are used to. Each species was given a large area to roam so they didn't have to be crowded into a cage.

    Making the most of a chilly dsy

    Jan_D, Jun 2022
    The experience was great. Though chilly.the animals look content and well cared for. Our guide was very informative and gave a lot of time at each viewing of animals.

    Great value and made the whole visit.

    Greg_D, Apr 2022
    Giraffes on the Savanna. We were lucky but we had a wonderful driver and Guide Jill. She was a great provider of information about the first Nations people whose land the Zoo is on and the real purpose of the Zoo to save endangered species like the Mongolian wild horses and Oryx and the Zoos relationships throughout the world and in particular Africa.

    Great day out

    Shannon_A, Mar 2022
    Took the deluxe safari with guide. Able to go off road to get closer to animals. Guide was very knowledgeable

    Terrible

    Oliver_R, Dec 2021
