Stroll among the zebras and elephants and enjoy an exceptional moment with family and friends thanks to the ZooSafari de Thoiry tours. On the program for the 2025 season: new activities for young and old alike!

Thoiry Zoo offers us a great day out: for this new season, this zoo, unique in France, takes us on an unforgettable adventure up close to the animals.

Since 2024, the zoo has been offering - in addition to numerous courses and special days to become an animal caretaker for a day - a full five-day course at Thoiry Zoo as part of the Safari Academy. Children aged 7 to 12 can learn how to care for the animals, prepare their food rations, clean their enclosures... And understand what's at stake in protecting each species.

Hippos, wildebeests, giraffes, dromedaries, wolves and bears await you on your visit to the zoo! You can choose between a safari or a walking tour: the two complement each other, but you can of course choose to do either one or the other. Of the more than 1,400 animals of 150 species, only 200 animals of 30 species can be seen on the safari, while the rest can be seen on the walking tour.

Stroll from theLemur Island to the big cat enclosures (lynx, tiger, cheetah, leopard...), via the Land of Gorillas, an islet where you'll come across numerous species of monkeys, chimpanzees and large gorillas. You can even hop aboard a bush truck for an African safari: a chance to see hippos, elephants, antelopes, ostriches and even giraffes just a few meters away! Budding adventurers may want to bring along their binoculars to see all these savannah animals up close.

On site, don't miss the zip-line above the wildcats, the Safari Air Park (1,500 m² of bouncing nets stretched between the trees), which was given a makeover last season, the lemurtrek (a course between 3 islands to observe the maki cattas up close) and the Australian Trek around the 25m-long aviary, home to Australian rainbow lorikeets and parakeets of all sizes.

So, when do we go?
