African Safari

One of Japan's largest safari parks! Thrilling experiences through close encounters with animals

Step into an adventure that feels like Africa at one of Japan's largest safari parks. In this expansive park, you can observe a variety of animals living freely in their natural environment up close.
The highlight of the park is the Jungle Bus safari tour! These animal-shaped buses, resembling rhinos or tigers, take visitors on a 50-minute journey around the Safari Zone. Get an up-close view of lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, and more as they feed right outside the bus through its mesh. Visitors can also explore the Safari Zone in their own cars.
In the Petting Zone, children can touch and hold adorable animals like kangaroos, rabbits, and capybaras, which are particularly popular. Visitors can also enjoy pony rides and interact with animals indoors on rainy days. Seasonal events and special exhibits ensure there's always something new to discover, and summer visitors can even experience camping within the park.
Dining and shopping options abound, with restaurants serving freshly baked bread and Indian curry, and gift shops offering exclusive park merchandise. Whether you're a child or an adult, African Safari promises a full day of excitement and wonder.
