★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 407 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $111Our pick

Safari Park day trip from Santiago with a big cats and herbivores safari, a Jurassic ride, included brunch, and one fun add-on activity.

“We had a day in Chile before our flight home and chose to go to this Safari park. It was a fun way to spend the day, our guide Alondra was great. The animatronics in the Jurassic part of the park were hilarious. The ride to and from was about an hour, depending on traffic. This would be a great place for kids.”

2.Safari Park, a wild experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 9 hours · from $111

A 9-hour Safari Park day trip from Santiago with three safaris, up-close big cats viewing from vehicles, a rehab center, and one playground activity.

“We had a great overall experience on the safari park tour. Our guide Carlos was friendly, helpful, and very informative, which made seeing the animals up close even more exciting and enjoyable.

A 7-hour Safari Park day trip from Santiago to Rancagua, with rescued big cats, a close truck ride, and hands-on herbivore feeding.

“Barbara was a great guide who did a bit of a city history tour on the way out to the Safari location. Once we got there, the first activity was getting into the truck/cage and driving through the area where the lions are and then the tigers. Cats are cats, no matter how big, and you can't make them do anything. That being said, the lions didn't come over to eat from our truck, but it was first thing in the morning so they were rolling around in the sun and vocalizing, which was super cute to watch! The tiger, one was still asleep and the other one was more…”
