Known forwildlifezoosafariday trip
A sprawling 225-hectare open-range zoo where African savanna animals — rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos — roam in large paddocks visible from a guided safari bus, about 35 minutes from the CBD. The safari experience is genuinely impressive and unlike anything else near Melbourne, and the gorilla rainforest walk adds further depth. Entry is around $40 for adults and the safari bus is included, making it excellent value for the scale of the experience.
