Discover Safari Ramat Gan — Israel's Premier Wildlife Experience

Large Savanna Enclosures
The big cats section is divided into several zones, each modeled after the natural habitat of its residents. The African lion pride occupies a large savanna-style enclosure where visitors can observe the group dynamics of these majestic animals.

Tiger Water Features
The Bengal tiger enclosure features a natural water source where the tigers can often be seen cooling off during the warmer months. Morning visits are recommended for the most active tiger sightings.

Viewing Tips
Best viewing tip: arrive at opening time when the animals are most active, and visit the tiger zone first as it tends to get crowded by midday. Photography is permitted without flash.

Feeding Station Hours
The giraffe feeding station opens at 10:00 AM and operates until late afternoon. Visitors can purchase special vegetation sticks from the on-site kiosk to feed the giraffes by hand.

Savanna Walk Experience
The savanna walk area provides a scenic path through African-style landscape with views of giraffes, zebras, and antelopes from a safe elevated walkway.

Photography Advice
Tip: the light is softest during the early morning hours, making it ideal for photography. Bring a zoom lens of 200mm or more to capture the giraffes without disturbing them.

Multi-Continent Displays
The primates section features multiple enclosures representing different continents and environments. The lemur island is a particular favorite among visitors, offering close-up views of these playful animals.

Chimpanzee Family Dynamics
The chimpanzee family group is housed in a large enriched environment with climbing structures, pools, and natural vegetation. Morning feeding times offer the best opportunities for observing their complex social behavior.

Visitor Guidelines
Please maintain a respectful distance from the enclosures and avoid tapping on glass or making sudden movements near the primates.

Safe Hands-On Interaction
The petting farm allows children to get up close and personal with friendly goats, sheep, and donkeys. Staff members are always present to supervise interactions and ensure the safety of both children and animals.

Additional Activities
The children's zoo also features pony rides, a small train ride, and interactive educational stations where kids can learn about animal habitats and conservation.

Best Time to Visit
Best visited in the morning when the animals are most active and the weather is cooler. Bring sunscreen and a hat — most of the children's area is outdoors.

Walk-Through Aviary
The walk-through aviary is a highlight of the bird section, allowing visitors to be surrounded by colorful birds from around the world. The interior features natural plantings and a small stream.

Flamingo Lagoon
The flamingo lagoon provides a stunning display of these elegant pink birds, especially striking when they gather in large groups during feeding time.

Daily Demonstrations
Daily bird demonstrations run at 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, featuring trained birds performing natural behaviors in an open arena setting.

Reptile House Collection
The reptile house features species from Israel and around the world, including several venomous snakes displayed behind secure glass barriers with educational signage.

Crocodile Pool
The crocodile pool is one of the most dramatic exhibits — large Nile crocodiles can be seen lounging in the water or basking on the banks of a recreated riverbank environment.

Aquarium Displays
The aquarium section displays freshwater fish species in large themed tanks, including a dedicated display of cichlids from Lake Malawi.

Opening Hours
Ramat Gan Safari is open Sunday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 5:00 PM. The park is closed on Jewish holidays.

Tickets & Pricing
Tickets can be purchased online in advance for a discount, or at the entrance on the day. Children under 2 years old enter free. Family packages are available for groups of four or more.

Getting There
Parking is available on-site for a daily fee. From central Tel Aviv, take bus lines 67 or 231 directly to the safari entrance. The nearest train station is Kibbutz Gaustadion, a 15-minute walk away.

Spring — Baby Season
Spring (March to May) is baby season — many animals give birth during this period, making it ideal for families with young children who want to see young animals.

Summer — Extended Hours
Summer brings extended evening hours and special events including outdoor cinema nights and live music in the park. July and August are the busiest months — arrive early to avoid crowds.

Autumn & Winter
Autumn and winter offer the most comfortable walking weather. December brings special holiday decorations and family activities. January and February are the quietest months with short queues.
