Here the animals live in absolute freedom in very large and open spaces; they can also get close to the public.

The zoo , a safari-style area, has to be visited by car: keeping all windows closed and driving alongside with lions, tigers, bears, camels and zebras is a truly exciting experience not to be missed. Stop near the giraffe section and offer them some peanuts, they will gently lean towards to your car.

In addition to the drive-through safari, the park also has a traditional zoo area, with walk-through enclosures and exhibits.

The wildlife pedestrian park has different sections: jump on the monkey train and be ready to be surrounded by hundreds of monkeys and baboons looking for peanuts. Visit the tropical area with snakes, turtles and alligators, the ornithological area where several species of exotic birds can be admired and the reptile-fish-insect house. Finally take a trip with the metro-zoo to the lake and its tiny islands: watch out from the train for leopards and panthers. Jump off the train and watch the seals, rhinos, bears and hippopotamus.

Travel tips for fasano.

zoo safari park bari italy

The southern-Italian region of Apulia is the perfect destination for a weekend trip or beach vacation. Eating delicious food , sunbathing and exploring dreamy towns are not the only activities waiting for you in the region – you can also experience fascinating wildlife first hand! 

The nature park Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the second biggest animal park in Europe and just a 40-minute drive away from Bari . It is located in the Apulian town of Fasano, which is part of the commune of Brindisi and has over 40000 inhabitants. The wildlife and amusement area consist out of multiple parks, which guarantees an enjoyable and diverse adventure.

The main attraction is the safari park. You are driving with your own vehicle to observe the animals living in a spacious area adapted to their needs. At the beginning of the safari, there are animals, such as deers and water buffalos followed by an area full of lions, tigers and black bears. After leaving the area of predators you will be able to see many other exotic animals such as monkeys, zebras, giraffes, emus, and camels. The last section of the Safari offers a close look on feather animals like flamingos, peacocks, and cranes. 

The drive through the wildlife area is usually about an hour long and afterwards you can continue your exploration tour on foot. The first section is a tropical room with alligators, snakes, lizards and turtles. On the over 60 000 m² wildlife park, there is also a water area with large mammals, tropical birds, dolphins, a penguin house and many primate species. 

Often, there are also animal shows with dolphins, sea lions, and penguins, showing off their tricks with their trainers.

Except for amazing experiences with animals, Zoosafari Fasanolandia offers also many different amusement park attractions. There are numerous roller coasters, some for children and some for adrenaline junkies, water rides, fairy wheels, and even a 4D cinema. Fasanolandia is located on a hill, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, which makes all panoramic rides particularly special. 

Zoosafari Fasanolandia is the perfect day trip for all families, animal lovers and amusement park enthusiasts.

The Fasano Zoosafari, biodiversity in 6 stages, including a surprise

Giraffe in Fasano apulia safari zoo Italy

In Europe in terms of the number of species it hosts. At 140 hectares, it is a true oasis of biodiversity and, in the spirit of modern zoos, plays an important role in protecting and safeguarding many endangered species. 

Close encounters

Immersed in nature and surrounded by a wide range of animals of all species, welcomed and cared for in complete freedom, the Zoosafari is a natural paradise where you can spend a day full of emotions and unforgettable encounters : meet the lion that yawns as soon as he wakes up, see the hippos bathing under the branches, make way for a line of busy zebras or let yourself be mimicked by a cheeky chimpanzee . Everywhere you look there is a surprise, something to explore.

The park is divided into various areas , plus the final surprise: the FasanoLandia park, dedicated to entertainment, the crowning glory of a visit to Fasano. 

First stage by car: the Safari

This is the “wildest” part, a 6-kilometre-long adrenaline-filled route that can only be completed by car, camper van or bus. A real safari among the centuries-old olive and carob trees of the Mediterranean maquis, where it is possible to observe, at close quarters, as many as 3,000 animals of 200 different species : the animals of the savannah, lions, tigers, giraffes, gazelles, elephants, zebras, bison ; roaming free and mixed with species belonging to different ecosystems: ostriches, llamas, camels and dromedaries , as well as deer and flamingos . 

Second stage on foot: the Primates' Area

After the car tour, the visit continues on foot. Completely immersed in the greenery, the pedestrian route has other thrilling surprises in store: you will enter the lively world of primates , who are often so astonishingly similar to us: from the beloved gorilla Riù, the real star of the park, to the hyperactive chimpanzees , and then the herd of very friendly lemurs, the docile alpacas , the lycaons and various large birds . 

Third stage with the Metrozoo: the Lake of Large Mammals

Once the pedestrian route is over, it's time to get back on board a new means of transport, this time the Metrozoo , a monorail with a panoramic view which, skimming over the tree tops, takes visitors into a new realm, this time an aquatic one: a small lake scattered with islets and topped by a small waterfall is home to a varied group of seals , hippos , singing gibbons and, surprisingly, brown bears and polar bears. And on the way back, there is the noisy monkey village with its very lively and busy guests.

Fourth stage: The Tropical Room, the Reptile House/Aquarium

Still within the pedestrian area, the itinerary continues indoors, in the Tropical Room , an air-conditioned tent covering about 700 square metres hosting reptiles , fish and various invertebrates . Here, visitors can get up close to all kinds of snakes , both poisonous and non-poisonous ( boas, pythons, rattlesnakes, vipers ), freshwater and land tortoises , saurians, iguanas, monitor lizards, geckos, chameleons, alligators , as well as giant spiders, scorpions and butterflies .

Also known as the Bari Safari, Zoosafari Fasanolandia is an awesome place to see and interact with animals right from your car! For most of the "nice" animals, you can hang on the side of the road as long as you want and enjoy. When you go through the lion and tiger areas (located within double security gates), you cannot and should not open your windows so you don't unintentionally die. The whole time I did feel safe with the zookeepers watching everything from their 4WD cars. I had done a similar activity at the Virginia Safari Park in the US but I'd say this experience was way better. I did not go to the amusement park side of this attraction as I didn't have time but I think it was closed anyway. Pro-tip: Bring lettuce, carrots, and other veggies with you to feed all these wonderful creatures! Do not forget about the 2-humped camel which greeted us at the end of the epic drive-thru.

I'm so torn here because this park has POSSIBILITY! But, my experience was not so great. We came to Fasanolandia for the amusement park side versus the "zoo" side. The zoo side is the type where you drive your car through to look at the animals, but we didn't do that so cannot report or review on that. We did go into the amusement park side and it was on a Tuesday in late September. We arrived about 10:30am and noticed that the parking lot was pretty empty. Hm. We then purchased our ticket to enter. So, the plan was we were just going to be here for a couple of hours and then head out. Thus, we purchased the €6 ticket that gives you 6 attractions as well as entry (this is a €9 ticket, but they have a coupon on their website so no one should every pay the €9!) and headed in. Walking in, it looks like any amusement park and they have a great miniature display of local monuments, etc. Loved that. Then we realized that pretty much nothing was open yet. We're thinking, well, maybe we're early lets wander around and scope it all out. They actually have plenty of attractions from kiddie rides to some good looking coasters and we were particularly excited for the Euro Fighter coaster! But as we wandered, we realized that literally almost NOTHING was open, so I finally went to a info/ticket booth and asked when the big rides would be opening. They said oh, they'll be open about 11. Okay, whew. But 11 came and went and it was not looking good... only a few kiddie rides and bumper boats seemed to be open. Then we saw a small coaster was running and we hustled over there. The people working there said yeah, it's open but they have to have five people to go on it. Ohhhkay... we then found a little theater that did 4D movies so we went and used one of our attraction tickets for that and watched a short 4D movie about a haunted house. Meh. Then we came out and saw some people at the coaster! We rushed over and were able to use a ticket for that! Hooray! A Ride! Then that was over. We did another circuit of the rides and wandered up to a little food place and grabbed some beers. I realized that hte free marionette show was about to start so we hustled down to the marionette theater just in time to watch a pretty great Pinocchio show with fantastic marionettes. Very cute to watch even though I don't speak Italian. When we were done, I went to another booth where I asked about the Euro Fighter. I was told it should open in about 45 minutes, so we wandered up to a restaurant near the ride and had lunch. Oh, so the cafeteria is completely unlike eating at Disneyland or Six Flags, that's for darn sure. Its cafeteria style, but they have full on meals for €10 with salad, pasta, meat, side dish, dessert and drink. I couldn't even eat it all! I kept saying, NOT SO MUCH, but my platter was piled high, so I guess that is a positive. On the negative, while I didn't try them, you probably don't want a burger and fries... they look so sad and wilty! But, great value for the money compared to $10 burgers at US theme parks! Anyway, an hour later, still no Euro Fighter, so we were wandering around and the husband suggested we go in the "haunted house", we did. It was BAD. Worse than what you would find at the LA County Fair, so just skip that if you're here. We next hit up the Ferris Wheel and that was GREAT because we could see for miles from the top and the Adriatic was nearby. We could see the whole park as well and what, the log ride was open! YEA! After we got off the Ferris Wheel, we asked the ride operator about the Euro Fighter and he said, oh, it won't open until Saturday. Okay then. Log Ride it was. LOVED the log ride. It was fun and we got a little damp but not WET, so all good. From there we headed to a small spinny coaster that was also fun... actually, it was really good. After that we decided it was time to go... we'd been there like FOUR hours! We stopped and looked at some monkey type animal and some turtles and then we were out. So, the story is, this park could be ROCKING if it was open completely, but our experience? Not so much. It kind of put a damper on the day because I had planned that stop for the husband as a respite from all the culture and food stops I was torturing him with on our vacation. But, it is what it is!

Went there about 8 years ago. I have not stop talking about this place. It has to be on everyone's bucket list and a must see. The animals r right outside your car and so up and personal

Zoosafari Fasano – a drive-through zoo in South-Italy

We have stopped our car and ostriches are circling us. They are knocking on the windshield with very awaiting looks on their faces. Their beaks look quite intimidating and they are staring us. Can they crack our car window? They seem to be expecting some food, but we don’t have anything to give them … so we decide to take selfies with them instead.

How we got here?

We were on our way from Torre Santa Sabina to Alberobello when we saw a Zoosafari Fasano sign. The sign itself didn’t give away much- there were only a name “Zoosafari” and distance. But it caught our attention.

We couldn’t find much information from the Internet, but enough to be interested. We had never been in this kind of zoo. Ticket costs 25€ for adult and 21€ for children and will include also a visit to a regular zoo, to monkey ride and to a tropical house, but it still seemed to be a lot. But it really was worth it! It is a quite unique experience- basically, you will drive through the zoo with your own car.

Camel on the road

Driving trough Zoosafari Fasano

The whole zoo is separated into two main parts. The safari section for driving and regular zoo. Safari part was a really cool and up-close experience. Animals there looked friendly, happy, playful and very used to the vehicles passing by. They came close and were very interested in us. Ok- not exactly us. They probably expected to get some food.

Ostrich looking through the car window

Animals are separated with fences between different areas. Lions, tigers, and bears have their own dedicated areas where it is forbidden to open a window. But to be honest- it even didn’t came to our minds to open car windows in the lion cage. Double gates are between those areas which are manually operated. You have to drive through the first gate and wait until that closes. After that man in the booth opens the next one and you can move on.

Zebra looking through the car window

All other animals are kept less strictly separated. Must be based on which ones get along each other naturally. Basically, they live freely – so don’t be surprised if you will find goats sleeping on the road or an ostrich knocking to the window. You can let down your window and pet the animals if you want.

Giraffes eating

We hoped to see lions up close and around the car, but unfortunately, they were relaxing on the grass. Far away from the road and not interested of us, which was a pity. They were just watching us from the distance. Same with bears and tigers. We caught them after feeding probably.

Lions relaxing on the grass while we drive by

Regular zoo

After you will finish with the safari part, you can park your car outside of the park and go visit the pedestrian zoo. We used the parking lot on the left after exiting safari. Parking did cost around 3€ in 2018.

The regular zoo is also separated into different areas and it also features a theme park which altogether makes up “Fasanolandia” park. Some of the examples are monkeys cage, tropical house, dolphinarium and the lake for the large mammals like sea lions. They also provide dolphins, penguins and sea lions shows for visitors at various times each day. This is at extra cost.

People in the cage

In Zoosafari Fasano you can swap position with animals. You have the possibility to go inside of the monkey cage- but for that, you have to get on to the train and into the cage. This was a really unique experience- some monkeys were riding with us on the top of the train and checking us out through the metal grid. Others were just having their normal life- grooming, eating or taking care of the babies.

Questions we had before going to Zoosafari Fasano

We had many questions before going to the zoo safari. It was not quite clear for us how the exact visit will look like, is there a time limit for driving etc. Here are some of the questions answered.

Is there room to let other drivers pass you?

Yes. The roads are quite wide so you don’t have to worry about that. Driving is done in one direction – no oncoming traffic either. Even a tour bus was able to pass us. After we saw how this tour bus rushed through the safari, we were glad that we were there with our own car. It left us the liberty to decide how much time we wanted to spend looking at the specific animals. Bus variant must be pretty boring for visitor.

How fast I have to drive through the zoo safari?

There is no strict time limit so you don’t have to rush through the zoo. Also, there is no speed limit nor time restrictions as we did understand. But the recommended maximum time was about 90 minutes. It’s plenty of time to look at the animals and take the selfies. We were totally able to keep our own pace and take as long as we wanted.

Since we visited Zoosafari Fasano in the middle of the week in April, there were not many other cars around. When we looked this place up in Google Maps we saw that it can be worse. But at the same time, you can see some cars and buses passing the row. Google maps link here .

How can I get a ticket? Should we park our car first or should we drive directly to the ticket office?

You can drive directly to the ticket office at the main entrance, purchase your ticket, and then drive directly to the safari. After you have finished the safari road, you can park your car, and walk to the pedestrian zoo. A parking lot will cost 3€ and it has a nice shadow on the top.

Can I feed the animals?

Obviously, animals are used to get snacks from visitors since they gather around cars. We wonder if people would not give them food- would the experience actually be less attractive and animals would not come close? At the first gate, there was a sign that states that it’s forbidden to give food to the animals.

The sign at the entrance - "It is forbidden to give food to the animals"

Was worth it!

Our overall experience was great and we were pleased. It might be due to it’s our first time visiting such zoo. Janar usually doesn’t like zoos because of animals seem to be not happy in them. It’s not the case in Z oosafari Fasano- especially in safari part. We would totally recommend visiting this- although it could get pretty pricey for families.

The home page of the Zoosafari Fasano is http://www.zoosafari.it/

PS: If you are looking for a place where to have lunch and you wouldn’t mind driving a few kilometers, then we would recommend Ristorante La Grande Quercia . It is 4 km (10 minutes) drive from Zoosafari Fasano. We read some really good reviews about their pizza, but unfortunately, they are serving pizzas only in the evenings. But the pasta we tried was also really good! And the best part is, that it seemed to be a real authentic Italian restaurant where also the locals will eat.
