Friguia Safari Park

Friguia Animal Park is Tunisia's only wildlife park and is situated between Hammamet and Sousse.

This park has been open to the public since November 2000 and they state, "the purpose of the park is to preserve the species by looking after the development of the most threatened ones". This is not a safari park, but is a larger and more open type of zoo than those you would usually find in the city. You are still able to get up close to some of the animals whilst viewing them in a natural environment.

The park of 36 hectares has been well laid out. There are ample rest stops, snack bars and souvenir shops in all the right places. Shady areas and seating allow visitors to take their time out of the sun and appreciate the animals and the picturesque views that the park present.

There are over 400 animals and more than 60 species living in Friguia all free to move in large enclosures. At every animal type there is a detailed board with information of the animal in both English and Arabic.
