Safari Zoo will close to the public on 31.12.24, please read on for a statement on the closure;

Good morning, we have some news which we know will be disappointing for many of you.  The zoo will close to the public on 31.12.24

 

We hope you will come and celebrate or share your memories with us before we close and join us this December to visit your favourite animals be it Kofi , or Remi or even eyebrow. 

 

When we took over in 2017 we did so because of our love and passion for the animals in our care and the wider world, when we look back -  hand rearing Cupcake the parma wallaby, training Tibor the giraffe for his jugular blood sample, Remi the jaguar and his cancer removal, Wolfgang the snow leopard and his eye operation, hand rearing capybara, Eloise the giraffe’s pedicures, transforming the lives of Snoopy and the bears with their new enclosure.  From day 1 when we opened the doors for free, to today when we will do the same for December, we cannot thank the 3million plus of you who have, over the last 7 years, visited us, supported our ventures and ultimately celebrated with us our amazing animal world.  

 

One of our proudest achievements is the development of a K9 Anti poaching ranger unit in the heart of Africa.  From small beginnings with Andy bringing his cute small brown and white spaniel using the zoo to train and heighten those sniffing abilities before being deployed out in the fight against poachers.  Fast forward to 2024 where we fund 3 antipoaching k9 rangers, who together with their units are at the forefront of rhino protection in Zululand. 

 

This is our legacy, as 2025 will see that protection extend even further, our way of ensuring White Rhinos remain in the wild, where they belong, for generations to come.
