Overview
A large wildlife park close to the sea
The second-largest wildlife park in Europe is located just a few kilometres from Brindisi and a stone’s throw from some of Puglia’s most beautiful coastal resorts, such as Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. We’re talking about the fantastic Zoosafari Fasanolandia in Fasano, a zoo and amusement park covering more than 30 hectares that catapults visitors into a natural oasis where you can admire over 1,700 animals belonging to 200 different species.
The history of the park begins in 1973 as just a zoo, the true heart of the Zoosafari. In the years that followed, it was decided to offer visitors even more, with adrenaline-pumping attractions and rides for the whole family in the area that goes by the name of Fasanolandia. However, the main attraction remains the zoo, which you can explore in your own car, following a circuit along which you can admire zebras and lions, Asian elephants and tigers, as well as giraffes, rhinoceroses and antelopes up close.
The Monkey Village lets you observe more than 300 baboons in full freedom on board a small train, while the large permanent ornithological exhibition gives you the opportunity to observe exotic birds and large birds of prey first hand.
