Travel Destination: Second Largest Safari in the World

①A Popular Southeast Asian Destination Among Koreans

Phu Quoc in Vietnam is a vacation destination known for its pristine natural beauty.
Comparable to Jeju Island in Korea, it is a popular destination among locals, too.
It is the largest island in Vietnam, with over half of the area protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
In Phu Quoc, you can enjoy the rare emerald-colored beaches in Vietnam.
With its clean natural scenery, affordable prices, and luxurious resorts, it has all the elements that Korean tourists are looking for.

‘Vinpearl Safari’ is a popular tourist attraction in Phu Quoc.
It may seem unusual to experience a safari in a Southeast Asian destination,
but Vinpearl offers a true experience of wildlife.

The animals live in the best environments that meet international standards.

In Vinpearl Safari, there are over 3,000 animals of various species.
Including rare species like cranes and black-necked swans, there are over 150 species of animals.
Covering an enormous area of about 939 acres, it’s the largest safari in Asia and the second largest in the world.

Vinpearl Safari is divided into an open zoo and a safari park.
The open zoo has 10 small themes for viewing.
Because the open zoo is very large, it’s difficult to tour the entire area on foot.

Thus, it offers a buggy car or VIP zoo tour for groups.
Most tourists tour the zoo in a buggy car.
Additional ticket purchases are necessary to take the tram.
It also offers activities like animal feeding and photoshoots with animals.

② Vinpearl Safari, the Second Largest in the World

For the safari park, there is a dedicated large bus to tour the site.
The safari park is designated as a wildlife protection park.
Vinpearl Safari is home to about 50 species of animals, including rare animals from around the world.

Arabian oryx, Bengal tigers, fennec foxes, and Arabian oryx all live in the park. It’s perfect to see numerous animals running freely in nature.
There is also the ‘Night Safari’. It is not included in the basic safari, so an additional ticket is required.

The ‘Giraffe Restaurant’ sells food and drinks.
Giraffes live in front of the restaurant.
They often approach the customers, sitting in the restaurant, so be ready.
The Giraffe Restaurant sells giraffe feed, so it is possible to feed them and take pictures up close.

The best time to visit Vinpearl Safari is from November to April.
A shuttle bus called Vin Bus is available.
The entrance fee for Vinpearl Safari is about $30.
