For the first time in 25 years, Safari Zoo Camp is not running for the 2020 season due to COVID-19. While we are tremendously disappointed, the safety and security of guests, staff and animals is paramount to us. We look forward to the 2021 season and hope everyone stays happy and healthy during this time!

After the Safari Zoo Camp Season (June - August), a 1-night educational and interactive "Night Safari" program begins. The adventure begins with a fascinating Wildlife Presentation in our Education Centre, an opportunity to see some amazing animals up-close and meet the professional staff that care for them. Once it gets completely dark outside, follow a Safari Guide through the zoo as they take you on an evening feeding tour.
Year-round, the property also features a Bed & Breakfast. The Bed & Breakfast has three different suites available varying in capacities.
Both of these programs allow guests to spend the night at the zoo and wake up to the wolves howling and the lions roaring.
For more information about either of these programs, please contact [email protected] or or visit http://www.junglecatworld.com/
Ashley Maika, Camp Director
At Safari Zoo Camp our staff and campers share an experience with nature that is sometimes hard to come by.
I started as a camper in 2001 and I never really left. I was a camper for 10 years, then a volunteer, Photographer, Camp Counsellor, Assistant Director, and became Director in 2018.
As a young camper, I was captured by the experience, the atmosphere and the like-minded people that surrounded me.
My goal as Camp Director is to continue to provide that experience of a lifetime for each camper enrolled.
It is my hope that through this experience, we can show others how important it is to protect, conserve and adore our environment. I welcome you to join our camp and participate in the activities of a lifetime. Listen to the lions roar, hear the wolves howl and see a snake slither through the grass. This up close and personal interaction reinforces what caring for these species is all about.
Work alongside animal care staff, learn about the amazing species that inhabit this world, go treetop trekking and handle some fascinating animals. Get ready for some fun, laughter and lifelong memories.
We would love for you to join our zoo camp family!
