Why go, and how to do it well

The giraffes are the reason to come. On the drive-through section you can get close enough to feed them from the bus or your own car window, and that's the bit people talk about afterwards. Reckon on two to three hours for that portion, which makes this a half-day thing you can bolt onto the Bridge over the River Kwai and the Death Railway. Plenty of organized day tours from Kanchanaburi do exactly that, which solves the transport problem if you haven't got a car.

The second section is a different story. Animal shows with crocodiles and elephants, elephant rides, cubs to feed, and enclosures that several people describe as small concrete cages. If animal welfare matters to you, and it should, you'll want to know that before you book. The zoo area at the end is thin on animals and drags. Very young children can find the big animals pressing against the bus frightening, so this suits older kids and adults better.

Reviews from Google

I visited Kanchanaburi Safari Park recently and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The park offers a unique chance to get extremely close to the animals, especially the giraffes, which was definitely the highlight of the visit. Being able to feed them from the safari bus and take photos up close is something you don’t get in most places. The giraffes are gentle and curious, making it fun for both adults and kids. The safari drive-through section is interesting as well, with a good variety of animals such as deer, zebras, ostriches, and camels. The ride is smooth, and the staff make sure everyone gets a chance to enjoy the feeding and photo moments. The views around the park are also beautiful, with greenery and mountains in the background adding to the overall atmosphere. That said, some areas of the park could be improved. A few enclosures look a little older and may benefit from future upgrades. Also, expect it to be quite crowded during weekends and holidays, especially around the giraffe-feeding zone. Despite these minor points, it’s still a memorable and family-friendly attraction worth visiting. If you enjoy animal encounters and want an up-close experience, Kanchanaburi Safari Park is definitely worth checking out.

Visited the Safari Park (as part of the Kanchanaburi Safari, Bridge over the river Kwai & death railway tour booked on Klook). Nice time at the Safari park. The giraffes 🦒 were definitely the highlight of the park. AMAZING experience being so close to the giraffes, hilarious 😂 Didn't particularly enjoy the crocodile or elephant shows, does not seem ethical knowing what they do to the animals to make them perform. The restaurant at the park was very authentic.

First part (Safari World) was great – a big safari park where you can drive through with a bus or your own car. It takes about 2–3 hours in total. Second part was not so nice – animal shows (crocodiles 🐊 and elephants) and several enclosures with poor animal welfare. Some animals are kept in small concrete cages. You can also ride elephants and feed baby big cats. It takes about 2–3 hours in total.
