Overview

Zoofari Centro de Conservación is an open-range zoo located in the state of Morelos, Mexico, where animals roam in large, semi-free habitats rather than small cages. The primary attraction is a drive-through safari experience that allows visitors to observe species like giraffes, zebras, and antelopes from their own vehicles. The facility spans over 150 hectares and houses hundreds of animals representing diverse global species. In addition to the safari drive, the site includes walking sections to view predators and smaller mammals up close. The zoo actively participates in wildlife conservation and breeding programs. It is divided into specific sections that simulate different ecosystems to encourage natural animal behaviors. Educational exhibits are positioned throughout the park to provide information on the biology and status of the resident species.
