Calauit Safari Park
The vast plains of the Calauit Safari Park were re-created to become the new home of various species such as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. It’s Philippines’ little Africa.
Occupying a total land area 3800 hectares, Calauit Safari Park is a haven to different frolicking animals — in here, you’ll see tall giraffes grazing from one tree to another, a group of zebras noisily racing against each other, and Calamian deer freely scouring for food. A friendly guide assists tourists in mirage-laden roads with his land rover, and he knows the most interesting stops — this includes a stop to the area where you can feed the giraffes, get close with zebras, and a sanctuary where you’ll find Palawan’s most endangered species. Although it is no longer as well maintained as it was during its heyday, Calauit Safari Park is still one of the top places to see when you’re in Palawan.
