Beppu African Safari allows you to interact with wildlife close up without traveling around the world. The animals are introduced through a bus ride around the park. The bus is covered with a cage and you can feed the animals by using the tongs provided. The park can also be accessed by your own with personal car, so you can experience it at your own pace. There is another section of the park where you can touch and feed animals with your hands, making it possible for your friends and your family to learn more about these beautiful creatures.

This unique jungle bus will take you around the park to see the wildlife.

This box of food is for you to feed the animals around the park.

Tongs are used to feed the animals. Be careful not to let your children put their body parts out of the cage.

The animals in the park are smart and not aggressive.

Don't forget to follow the instructions carefully, so you know which food should be fed to each animal.

There is a part of the park where you can feed and touch animals. This includes kangaroos, dogs, cats and some other animals.

I wish that I knew about this place when I went to Beppu last year! I guess that it's another reason to go back :) That's so cool that you fed a lion!
