Safari Night Walks

Do you want your guests to see more of the Zoo? Why not add on a guided Safari Night Walk for you and your guests and see your favourite animals in a whole new light! On this torch-lit adventure, you could discover everything from lions on the prowl and hippos looking for a late-night snack to nocturnal bats coming to life, or rhinos out in the cool of the evening.

Choose from:

• a one-hour walk ($23 per person),
• a one and a half hour walk ($29 per person)
• a full two hour walk (for $34 per person).

Prices include GST and the minimum group size is 20.

Please note: Safari Night Walk prices are only available when booked in conjunction with a private Zoo function. Click here for more details on Safari Night Walk options.
