1. Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc

Located at Bai Dai (about 23 km from Duong Dong), Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc is designed according to world-class safari models while retaining the natural charm of Phu Quoc. The park is divided into two main areas:

  • Open Zoo area: Stroll freely, interact with, and feed the animals.
  • Semi-Wild Safari area: Specialized electric buses take you through the forest to observe lions, Bengal tigers, rhinos, antelopes...

In addition, there are Night Safari, Kid Zoo Keeper, bird park, primate area, reptile sanctuary, and professional live shows. This is not only an entertainment hub but also a conservation and environmental awareness education center for both children and adults.

2. Top 5 unmissable experiences at Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc

Below are the top 5 most outstanding experiences at Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, highly rated by visitors based on real feedback in recent years. Each activity is not only entertaining but also integrates educational elements about nature and animal conservation, suitable for families, groups of friends, and children alike.

The “Caged Humans, Free Animals” Experience via Safari Bus 

This is the most famous activity when exploring Vinpearl Safari. Visitors sit inside a specialized bus equipped with safe tempered glass, traveling through the vast semi-wild area where animals such as lions, Bengal tigers, rhinos, and giraffes live in an environment close to nature. Throughout the 30–40 minute journey, a tour guide will provide detailed commentary on the habits and habitats of each species, giving you the feeling of participating in a real African safari. For the best experience, visitors should visit in the morning when the animals are most active.

Explore the Open Zoo and Interact with Animals

The Open Zoo area allows visitors to stroll freely among lush green spaces and observe many characteristic animal species such as giraffes, flamingos, Macaw parrots, or giant Aldabra tortoises.

 Highlights include:

  • Feeding giraffes (safe food available for purchase).
  • Taking free photos with parrots, albino pythons, and savannah monitor lizards.
  • Visiting the baby animal area (lion cubs, baby antelopes, goats, sheep) which is super adorable.

In particular, the baby animal area with its cute young individuals is always a major attraction for kids. The open space with minimal fencing makes the experience much closer and more natural compared to traditional zoos.

Enjoy Animal Shows and the Zulu Dance

The show programs at the Safari are highly entertaining while still conveying messages about wildlife protection. Visitors can watch skill performances by parrots, otters, or birds of prey during morning and afternoon time slots.

  • Main animal show (10:00-10:30 & 14:00-14:30, except Tuesdays and Wednesdays): circus parrots, otters, eagles, binturongs…

 Additionally, the vibrant "Zulu Forest Dance" (9:20, 11:20, 15:30) featuring energetic music and choreography inspired by African culture is also an exciting activity, creating a unique festive atmosphere amidst nature.

Night Safari Tour

When night falls, the Safari offers a completely different experience with the Night Safari program. Visitors travel on specialized trams to discover the nocturnal activities of animals in their natural habitat. The sounds of the night forest, soft lighting, and the rhythm of wild life create a special sense of adventure. Some packages even include an outdoor BBQ party, ideal for those who want to enjoy the natural atmosphere in a novel way.

Junior Zoo Keeper Experience and Kid Zoo Area

This is an educational activity dedicated to children, where they can roleplay as "animal keepers" for a short time. Children are guided on how to feed animals, learn about animal care and conservation processes under the supervision of zoo staff. Moreover, the Kid Zoo area features many gentle animals like sheep, goats, or squirrels for young kids to freely play with and explore. This activity is not only fun but also helps foster children's love for nature and animals.

The above experiences have contributed to the special charm of Vinpearl Safari, making it one of the must-visit attractions when traveling to Phu Quoc Island.
