Why travel thousands of kilometres, when a taste of African adventure is available just 30 minutes from Melbourne’s city centre?  At Werribee Open Range Zoo, you'll find an amazing array of animals living on 225 hectares of wide, open savannah.

On the Pula Reserve Walking Trail, come face-to-face with a pride of lions, see cheeky monkeys and cheetahs at play and discover a family of hippos at the new Kubu River Hippos experience.

No trip to the Zoo is complete without heading out on safari across grassy plains where you’ll find rhinos, giraffes, zebras and antelopes grazing together on the savannah.

All of the above, including the 45-minute safari tour, is included in the Zoo admission price so take a walk on the wild side.
