This is the first semi-wild zoo in Vietnam, located at the Ganh Dau resort in the northern part of Phu Quoc Island. Phu Quoc Safari covers nearly 500 hectares and is divided into two sections: an open zoo and a semi-wild area, where tourists can enjoy a unique experience of seeing both free-roaming and captive animals.
At Phu Quoc Safari, there are around 150 species of animals, with over 3,000 individuals living here. The park is home to many rare animals from Africa and the Americas, such as Bengal tigers, kangaroos, zebras, flamingos, bison, rhinoceroses, lemurs, and Arabian oryx. The entrance fee ranges from 400,000 to 500,000 VND, depending on whether the visitor is above or below 1.4 meters in height. This place is very popular with both domestic and international tourists visiting Phu Quoc. To get there, you can take a free shuttle bus that runs at fixed times throughout the day from the resort to the park.
