Review of Santiago’s Safari Park Wild Experience, with big cats, herbivores, dinosaurs, breakfast, transport, pricing, and practical tips.

“We had a day in Chile before our flight home and chose to go to this Safari park. It was a fun way to spend the day, our guide Alondra was great. The animatronics in the Jurassic part of the park were hilarious. The ride to and from was about an hour, depending on traffic. This would be a great place for kids.”

2.Safari Park, a wild experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 9 hours · from $111

Review of Santiago’s Safari Park trip, with big cats, herbivores, dinosaurs, Chilean breakfast, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“We had a great overall experience on the safari park tour. Our guide Carlos was friendly, helpful, and very informative, which made seeing the animals up close even more exciting and enjoyable. The only downsides were the long wait at the start — we were picked up early and then had to wait almost two hours for the tour to begin — and the limited free time in the park. The 45 minutes given was just enough to eat, not really explore.

3.Wildlife Safari and Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $145

Review the 4-hour Atacama wildlife safari with guanacos, vicuñas, flamingos, expert guides, photo gear, and remote mountain views.

“It was fantastic and we saw lots of birds and animals. Juan Pablo really not only knows his birds and animals but also where to find them. We had some fascinating conversation about our travels to see wildlife and birds as well. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see and experience the local wildlife. I promise you will see wildlife that you will not be able to see on your own. At times I was looking right at it but could not ‘see’ what o was ‘seeing’ until he explained to me.”

Visit Safari Park near Santiago to see rescued big cats, feed giraffes and deer, and enjoy private transport with an English-speaking guide.

“Barbara was a great guide who did a bit of a city history tour on the way out to the Safari location. Once we got there, the first activity was getting into the truck/cage and driving through the area where the lions are and then the tigers. Cats are cats, no matter how big, and you can't make them do anything. That being said, the lions didn't come over to eat from our truck, but it was first thing in the morning so they were rolling around in the sun and vocalizing, which was super cute to watch! The tiger, one was still asleep and the other one was more…”
