Better than an educational farm, more moving than a funfair, Zoo African Safari invites you to experience an unforgettable family experience. Located in Plaisance-du-Touch – less than an hour from Toulouse – the park offers a safari by car, a walking tour and a host of activities. We owe you everything you need to know to prepare for your visit with lions, hippos and kangaroos!
Zoo African Safari: an African safari on the outskirts of the Ville Rose
Just 20 minutes from Toulouse, Zoo African Safari offers a relaxing getaway for the whole family. This animal park in Plaisance-du-Touch is home to over 600 animals of 80 different species, spread over 20 hectares of unspoilt nature. You can explore two unique trails. On the one hand, you have access to an African reserve that you can explore by car. Zebras, rhinoceroses and elephants roam in semi-liberty.
On the other hand, visitors can also discover a shaded walking trail. It’s the ideal way to get up close and personal with tigers, red pandas and other fascinating creatures. Young and old alike will marvel at the commented feedings. But also by the sea lion and bird shows, which skilfully combine entertainment and awareness of species protection.
A day rich in discovery and emotion
Zoo African Safari offers much more than a simple animal visit. It’s a true immersion in the wild world. Families can also take advantage of the zipline playground, perfect for letting off steam between observations. And don’t worry! The enthusiasts who run the park are committed to animal welfare and actively participate in conservation programs for endangered species.
To get the most out of the experience, we recommend arriving early in the morning, especially in summer, to catch a glimpse of the animals before they (like us) take shelter from the heat. And don’t forget to check the entertainment schedule to make sure you don’t miss a thing at this family zoo. It’s an unforgettable day out just a stone’s throw from the Ville Rose!
