Calauit Safari

Calauit Safari Park is a remarkable 3,700-hectare wildlife reserve and sanctuary situated on Calauit Island, off the coast of Palawan near Coron, Philippines. Established in 1976 as the country's first safari park, it is home to a unique blend of African savannah animals and endemic Philippine wildlife living freely across the island's grasslands and forests. Visitors can spot giraffes, zebras — including rare Grevy's zebras — waterbucks, elands, bushbucks, Calamian deer, binturongs, Philippine porcupines, freshwater crocodiles, wild boars, monkeys, and a variety of birds including the Palawan Peacock Pheasant. Exploration is typically done by off-road vehicle with park rangers, offering an experience remarkably similar to an African safari. The park has played a significant role in growing the population of endangered Grevy's zebras and remains an important conservation site, welcoming visitors daily from 8 AM to 5 PM.
