Overview

Safari Park Kanchanaburi is a drive-through wildlife sanctuary located approximately 40 kilometers from the city of Kanchanaburi. Visitors travel through designated zones in open-sided park buses to observe animals including giraffes, zebras, camels, and lions. The park features an interactive giraffe feeding experience where animals approach the vehicles directly. Dedicated enclosures house tigers and other big cats, often viewable through glass or protective barriers. The facility operates as an open zoo where many herbivores roam in semi-free-range environments. Guests can also participate in organized animal shows featuring tigers, crocodiles, and elephants. The park terrain consists of dry, open tropical woodland typical of the Bo Phloi district. It serves as one of the few locations in western Thailand providing close-range wildlife encounters accessible by private or park-provided vehicles.

Insider tips

Purchase the provided giraffe food buckets at the park entrance as they are essential for attracting the animals to your vehicle.

Keep your vehicle windows rolled up while in the carnivore zones for safety.

Bring a high-zoom camera lens as the animals often approach the vehicle but move quickly.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to feed animals with food brought from outside the park, as this can be harmful to their health.
