Free Safari bus
A visit to our Zoo isn’t complete without a safari through the savannah!
The Free Safari bus runs daily, 365 days a year, with regular departures until 3:30pm. Departure times may be subject to change without notice. For the most up-to-date departure times, please check the schedule at the Safari Station or Ticket Office upon arrival.
Once onboard you will be transported through arid landscapes and savannah grasslands to explore the open plains and learn about some of the world’s most endangered species. From the Critically Endangered Asian Wild Horse to majestic Giraffe traversing the iconic savannah, the Werribee Zoo Safari Tour is one of the Zoo’s most popular experiences.
Move through the grasslands of Asia, North America and Africa, spotting Bison, Antelope, Rhino, Zebra and Ostrich with commentary provided by our talented Safari Guides.
