Werribee Open Range Zoo

Rhythm of Africa summer concert series this February

Werribee Open Range Zoo's summer concert series, Rhythm of Africa, runs each Saturday and Sunday in February. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Werribee Open Range Zoo's African Village, visitors can groove to African beats ranging from vibrant Pan African contemporary dance to traditional Ghanaian rhythms, or just relax and soak up the setting sun. Bring the whole family!

Kids' activities from 4.30pm, music from 5.30pm. A wide variety of African inspired food and drinks will be available for purchase, or there’s plenty of space for a picnic. 

Please note the last Safari Bus Tour departs at 6pm. The river walking trail closes at 4.30pm, while the African River Trail remains open until 8pm.
