Information about Zoobic Safari

Zoobic safari.

Zoobic Safari is situated in the middle of the forest of Subic Bay Freeport Zone and is the only tiger safari in the Philippines. Here, guests are given a rare chance to meet tigers up close while promoting awareness and concern for their species. It is the closest thing to an actual jungle safari in the country, and it will take approximately three hours to cover all its attractions.

Inside Zoobic Safari is the Tiger Safari, where guests can ride a safari jeep that will enter a closed fence structure and see live tigers roaming around the area. In there, these big cats are free to get close to the jeep, sniff at it, or even tackle it, with the passengers safe inside. 

Other attractions include a hanging bridge, a forest trail, a petting zoo, an animal observation area, and an animal sanctuary where wild boars, potbelly pigs, guinea fowls, and wild ostriches run free. Those who seek an adrenaline-pumping attraction must visit the Croco Loco, a steel-grated walkway with a pit of 200 crocodiles directly below it, and the Serpentarium, where snakes, lizards, iguanas, and other reptiles are available for viewing.

Guests can also go on a Night Safari, where they are toured around the exotic sanctuary in the dark, making the safari ride more thrilling.

Tickets and entry

Zoobic Safari is open daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, with an entrance fee of PHP 695 per adult and kids taller than four feet. Children three to four feet tall can go in for PHP 595, while kids below three feet can enter for free. 

Best time to visit

Most of the attractions on the property are outdoors, so it would be best to visit Zoobic Safari during the dry months of November to May. If you want to watch shows here, go on a weekend when they have a parade and a show at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM.

Zoobic safari reviews: insider insights and visitor experiences.

We can't compare it with the wildlife park in Shanghai, but it's a big zoo in the Philippines. It's also run by Chinese people, so we should visit it anyway. Get in touch with small animals

The Zoobic safari was good overall. The place is well maintained and the staff were friendly. What I didn't like was all the "OPTIONAL" things you can pay for to make the trip more worthwhile. It's like a lot of DLCs for games. For example, if you want photos, with some animals, they overcharge for them. If you want to feed the animals, they sell fruit baskets, which are overly priced.

‎‏‍‪‫‬‎‌​‎⁠‌‪‬​​‍‎‪ Small wild boar in the park are everywhere and can be seen everywhere. There are also goats... The most worth watching is the tiger sitting on the barbed wire fence up the mountain. The best.

This zoo is very similar to the one I used to visit in Singapore, where I had the chance to get close to and experience the feeling of being with small animals and the deer could touch them, but they were too timid to see us and it was good to run far away.

Zoobic Safari Guide 2024: Our Experience, Tickets & Tips

We visited Zoobic Safari in Subic to get up close and personal with wildlife creatures we don’t normally see in zoos and other animal parks like Manila Ocean Park and Cebu Ocean Park . Some Zoobic Safari animals we saw and had close encounters with were bearcats, donkeys, ostriches, pythons, crocodiles, zebras, lions, and of course, tigers!

BUY ZOOBIC SAFARI TICKETS

In terms of land area, the 25-hectare Zoobic Safari is only second to the 170-hectare Cebu Safari and Adventure Park . However, Zoobic Safari is the first and only tiger safari in the Philippines, which is still bucket list-worthy in our books. In fact, our experience here gave us an incredible wildlife adventure we won’t soon forget.

Read on to know more about this huge safari park – from tickets to attractions and friendly reminders.

Zoobic Safari tickets

Zoobic Safari offers different tickets for adults and children. See Zoobic Safari price list below.

Zoobic Safari entrance fee 2024

Zoobic Safari opening hours

This Subic safari park is open from Monday to Sunday, 8am to 4pm . Last admission is 2pm.

Zoobic Safari address and how to get there

Zoobic Safari is located in Group I Ilanin Forest, Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Olongapo, Philippines . It is approximately three hours away from Manila. Refer to this Google map to guide you.

To reach the Zoobic Safari location, you can either drive a car or take a bus .

Drive to North Luzon Expressway, then exit in San Fernando, Pampanga. Follow the signs going to Olongapo City. Then, take the Tipo-Subic expressway going to Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

Tip: If you don’t have your own car, it would be more convenient to rent a car with a professional driver , especially when you have kids. Just like what we did, the driver picked us up from our house, waited for us to finish the whole safari tour in Zoobic, and brought us back home safely.

RENT A CAR HERE

From Metro Manila, find the nearest bus station with buses going to Olongapo terminal. The most reliable bus line is Victory Liner . It has terminals in Pasay, Caloocan, Sampaloc and Cubao and has an hourly service from 4am to 6pm. Once you reach Olongapo terminal, take a jeepney to Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) main gate. Then, take a taxi inside SMBA going to Zoobic Safari. The regular taxi fare to Zoobic is ₱400 (one way).

Zoobic Safari attractions and our fun experience

Our entire Zoobic Safari tour lasted for about 2.5 hours and we already experienced the following main attractions:

Aetas’ Trail

The first leg of our tour was the Aetas’ Trail , where we were welcomed by a spectacular cultural performance of the Aetas, an indigenous group in Luzon and one of the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines.

Zoobic Park

Our next stop was Zoobic Park , where we saw different species of free-roaming animals including the binturong (bearcats), monkeys, donkeys, deer, ostriches, guinea pigs, and more!

Tiger Safari

Of course, we didn’t leave the park without experiencing the Tiger Safari . We boarded an enclosed tram where the caretaker fed the tigers with raw chicken.

There is an additional fee of ₱200 if you want to see the feeding action first-hand. We were scared at first as the tiger devoured the meat but it was a sight to behold.

Tiger and Lion Close Encounter

If you’re claustrophobic and don’t like riding the enclosed tram, you can still observe the lions and tigers at a close distance in their resting spaces.

Huwag mag-loco-loco dito! (Don’t be a fool here!) There are over a hundred crocs awaiting your every move! You can cross a steel-grated walkway with these ferocious creatures below you. You can also buy a quarter chicken for ₱50 to be placed on a fishing pole to feed them. We were too scared to commit a wrong move so we didn’t dare to do any of this.

Serpentarium

Shhhhhh.. These cold-blooded creatures can’t be bothered. Here, you’ll observe different kinds of snakes like pythons and boa constrictors, and other reptiles such as monitor lizards, iguanas, and turtles.

Animal Show

Since we visited on a weekend, we were able to watch the live animal show where animals showcase their talents and skills. Take note of the animal show schedule which is only on weekends at 10.30am and 1.30pm.

These are just some of the many attractions that await you in here. You may visit their official website to see the complete list of attractions and amenities.

Friendly reminders

• As you’ll mostly be exploring the outdoors, it’s best to wear comfortable clothes and a good pair of walking shoes.
• While you can buy food and drinks inside the park, you may want to bring your own drinking water safely contained in a water container or tumbler.
• Follow the health and safety protocols. There will be an orientation before you start your tour so listen carefully to the staff.
• Observe proper decorum and cleanliness at all times. Avoid making loud noises that could disturb the animals and their habitats.
• Do not attempt to feed the animals unless you sign up for feeding activities.
• Photos and videos are allowed so long as you do not disturb the animals and other visitors.

Here’s a sneak peek of our safari adventure many years ago before the pandemic:
