The Mightly Jungle

Depart for an adventure of a lifetime at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park!  Featuring expansive enclosures with herds of African and Asian animals, this unique safari park brings you thrillingly closer to over 3,500 exotic animals.

One of the best ways to experience this one-of-a-kind setting is by boarding the Journey into Africa tour, an open-air vehicle inspired by the legendary safari trains in Africa. The tour brings visitors to eye level with animals such as rhinoceroses, buffalo, gazelles, crowned cranes and more.

Other more adventurous ways to explore the Park include tooling around on a Segway X2 Rolling Safari tour, getting a bird’s-eye view of the park’s 1,800 acres on a Balloon Safari, and soaring like a condor over field enclosures on the new Flightline, a zip line adventure.
Whether you watch one of several elephant calves playing, come face-to-face with lions, feed giraffes from a Photo Caravan Safari truck, or find yourself covered in colorful lorikeets as they perch on your head and arms, an exciting, up-close adventure awaits you.
