Zoobic Safari is a 25-hectare safari park located inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. It gives a unique experience where visitors can get up close with a diverse range of animals. The park's most famous attraction is the Tiger Safari, where guests ride in a customized jeepney through a large enclosure, allowing for thrilling close encounters with full-grown Siberian tigers. Another popular area is the Savannah, a drive-through enclosure where ostriches, pot-bellied pigs, and wild boars roam freely and approach vehicles for food. The park also features a Serpentarium with a collection of snakes, lizards, and turtles; a Croco Loco section where visitors can walk over a pit of crocodiles on a steel-grate bridge; and a petting zoo. Zoobic Safari combines entertainment with education, promoting animal conservation and awareness. It's designed to simulate a more natural environment for the animals, providing a different experience from traditional zoos.
