[2025 Usa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kyushu Wildlife Park African Safari (Updated Mar)

On this self-drive trip, we traveled from Fukuoka to Yufuin, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery along the way. The roads were not crowded, making the drive very comfortable. However, traveling with children can be challenging due to the long distances, so it's best to plan a stop at an attraction to stretch and take a break. That's why we included a visit to the Kuju Natural Zoological Park midway. The zoo is easy to find, and the animals are mostly free-roaming in their natural habitats, not confined to cages. The best way to tour is by vehicle. You can either take the park's sightseeing bus to view and feed the animals or drive your own car through the park, but you must keep the windows closed. We chose the latter, so we'll have to wait until next time to see the lions and tigers up close. The park wasn't too crowded when we visited, so even with self-driving, there was no traffic congestion. After seeing the savannah animals, you can also visit the indoor salon to pet dogs or cats, and for an additional fee, feed the ponies. These activities are separate from the car tour but offer a full experience, and the kids had a lot of fun. Petting the cats is not highly recommended, as they were mostly sleeping, and we didn't want to disturb them; it's better to just watch from a distance. Overall, the zoo offers great value for money and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend a visit! Address: Ajimumachi Minamihata, Usa, Oita 872-0722, Japan

This time I want to introduce the zoo that is suitable for both men, women and children. Its biggest selling point is that you can drive your own car🚗 into the park and see wild animals up close It's like going to see the Asian version of the Great Animal Migration🐅🐆🦓🐘🦬🐫🐑 The scenery in the park is stunning, I guarantee you won't regret it, seeing a large section of hills, and many different breeds of animals, such as: lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, camels, sika deer, etc... If you are not driving, you can join the tour bus 🚌 provided by the park It can feed animals, which is very stimulating On the contrary, if you drive, you can't feed, you can't open the windows and doors throughout, but you can stop and watch the animals, decide your own viewing time, and you can rent a CD player to guide the explanation (I personally think you can not rent a CD player, CD players are a bit old and often broken) 📍Location: Kyushu Natural Zoo, Japan #familygoods #overseastravel #japantravel #fukuoka #kyushu attractions #zoo #safari #drivetour #hkblogger #hongkongfoodie

In the Meeting Area, you can touch and feed animals such as monkeys, kangaroos, guinea pigs, capybaras, rabbits, etc. Small and precious animals❤️ A peaceful African Safari that was like a scene from a cartoon, highly recommended‼️

It was a great half day experience there. We were given a tray of animals food to feed them including for kind ones like reindeers and fierce ones like bears and lions. Other than the safari tour, there are separate areas for patting puppies etc with a small charge. Definitely recommend it for family with kids though the bus to there took nearly 45 min. #2024wish

Can you guess where it is?? I am sure you have not heard this place before, it is actually in Japan!! It was absolutely amazing experience with all the animals. For me nowhere would be more perfect as a crazy animal lover😅 This safari is so big so bring your car and explore the whole place with it. Sounds so cool huh? Plus, there is an activity that you can feed lions! 100% recommend if you’d around there:)

Many people travel to Beppu near Fukuoka! In Beppu, there is an experience called African Safari where you can ride a jungle tour bus and feed wild animals. You can see bears, lions, and other beasts right up close and feed them. It's awesome!!! What was really surprising was that when I was trying to feed a lion, an eagle came and snatched it away!!! I was so surprised. Wow, this is really wild!!🦁 But the lion's fur was so thick that it smelled a bit^^;ㅋㅋ I actually saw a rhinoceros, and it felt like its whole body was muscular and its skin looked really tough and hard! ㅋㅋㅋ They kept hitting the bus with their horns? The bus shook and it was kind of thrilling +_+ 🦏 ​Here's an interesting fact: Among animals, lions are usually thought to be the best fighters, but elephants are surprisingly the best and rhinos are the second best. They say a rhinoceros can run 100m in 8 seconds >< 🐘 I actually saw an elephant and it was huge, and I said the baby elephant was cute, but it was 200kg ^^;ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I highly recommend it because you can have a rare experience of seeing wild animals up close!!! 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CTAsdEBgFYEjSWtc9? #ExcitingSummerVacation #Fukuoka #Beppu #AfricanSafari

#Japan Attractions Looking at the photos from my previous trip, I would like to introduce the #Kyushu Nature Zoo. The best part of this zoo is that you can take the Jungle bus into the beast area, where there are lions, tigers, elephants, black bears, giraffes, antelopes, rhinos, camels, etc. You can see these animals up close in the jungle bus. This activity was really quite fun and a very good experience. In addition to the large wildlife area, #KyushuNaturalZoo also has a small animal exchange area with a place for cats and a place for puppies, however there is a separate charge. There are sesames and ponies near the entrance to the zoo. Additionally, there are kangaroos from Australia in the zoo, and kids can walk into the kangaroo garden to get in touch with the kangaroos in this way. What's more, there's an area near the restaurant where you can snuggle guinea pigs and an area where you can pet rabbits, which Natalie and her little brother were very happy about! There is a restaurant in the zoo where you can have a simple meal to replenish your stamina and continue playing. Talking about the traffic, if you travel by car, you can drive into the beast zone, however there is no feeding of the animals. We are not on a self-drive tour, we can take the bus from Beppu Station. To learn more, you can refer to the official website. #Good place for parents and children

On my experienced,because we dont have a car,we went there thru bus,we took almost 1hour to be in that place,and when we saw it,its really amazing place,then we go to the animal zone by their jungle bus,where you can see and experienced to feed each of them,a liitle bit scary because of some carnivores there but its really an amazing experience,.wanna go bak again if i have free time🥰❤️ Address - OITA(USA) Ambiance/Facilities - Animal Safari Zoo Highlights - You can see and feed the animals Avg.
