sunset safari, werribee open range zoo

Mamma says you may have been to The Werribee Zoo before but not like this! The Sunset Safari is on again this year and you better believe Mamma is ready to get on that safari bus! Everyone on board will enjoy the opportunity to embark on this gorgeous dusk journey.

In this exclusive after-hours event, you and the fam will enjoy a night out alongside some of the world’s most iconic animals.

The Sunset Safari is beautiful and even if you have been on this tour before it is a different and lovely time to see the animals in a whole new light!

There are snacks and cocktails by the hippos which was an awesome space to hang out. And there was African BBQ and beer and wine by the monkeys. Hampers are strictly pre-order.

After a meal, the zoo trail is a great place to head to, Mamma saw the lions doing training! And the African wild dogs were very boisterous - bouncing and bounding all over the place. It’s lovely to see the animals at dusk and observe their different behaviours. From here, you can head out on an extra long and beautiful safari fit with a keeper guide. Then immerse yourself in the rhythm and soul of Africa during a performance of drums, song and dance. Try your hand at the drums!

All in all - it is a fantastic treat for the family and a great way to see the Werribee Open Range Zoo!
