A thrilling safari park where you can drive through a vast area and encounter wildlife up close!
Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari is one of Japan's largest safari parks, located in Usa City, Oita Prefecture. Drive or ride the jungle bus along the approximately 6km safari road and observe around 1,400 animals of about 70 species, including lions, elephants, and giraffes. The safari road is built across a vast area, allowing animals to roam freely. This provides an exciting opportunity to encounter animals up close and personal. Witness the awe-inspiring power of big cats like lions, tigers, and bears! You can also observe the more relaxed demeanor of herbivores like giraffes, elephants, and zebras. Various observation points along the safari road offer chances to see animals in their natural habitat; perhaps a pride of lions resting or elephants drinking water – moments you don't see every day. There's also a petting zoo where you can interact with rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. This is sure to be a hit with children! Night safaris are also held during Golden Week and summer vacation, offering a unique perspective on the animals' nocturnal behavior. Observe nocturnal animals in action or witness animals sleeping – sights rarely seen during the day. Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari is a memorable zoo for both adults and children. Be sure to visit with your family!
