The reserve is divided into two distinct zones: the Lumigny Safari Reserve and the Terre de Singes option. In all, there are over 600 animals to discover on immersive safaris, where you can enter the enclosures of saïmiris (small monkeys), lemurs, parrots... You can also see the big cats on board the Trans'Félins train, which takes you around the Parc des Félins. A total of four walking tours allow you to discover this great reserve on foot, with access for baby carriages and people with reduced mobility. Lions, Siberian tigers, Sri Lankan panthers, ocelots, wildcats and lynx await you in their enclosures, so you can observe how these wild animals live at Lumigny Safari Reserve. Then, to discover numerous species of macaques, gibbons, geladas, saïmiris and other small monkeys, head for the Terre de Singes!

On site, a mini-farm offers children the chance to cuddle goats and other domestic animals (cows, chickens...) in an area specially designed for families. It's a privileged zone between you and the animals, accessible to all ages! For budding marmosets, Magoland, a play area set up in the heart of La Terre de Singes, also allows children to have fun and move around like real little monkeys!

In 2024, the zoo will continue to offer its usual activities, with eco-guides specializing in ethology, on hand to assist visitors during the animals' snacks and meals. At the Terre de Singes zoo, macaques and other primates will also have their daily snack. But the big news is also the opening of the Kingdom of Lions, a hotel in the heart of the reserve, overlooking the enclosure of the kings of the savannah.

As a private service - and therefore at an additional cost to your park entrance ticket - you can also take part in a VIP safari during which you discover the park with an educational guide, who will tell you all about the particularities of each species and the animals' habits! At La Terre des Singes, you can also take part in a privileged experience to get up close and personal with monkeys and birds! These extraordinary experiences cost €189 (VIP feline safari) or €89 (privileged primate experience).
