Deluxe Open Safari was Fantastic

Steve 24 July 2026

Did a Red Balloon voucher to the Werribee Open Zoo, luckily it included the Deluxe Open Safari which was well worth the extra money as they took us off road to as close as they could possibly go to all the animals in the wild, many animals to see, had a fantastic day and recommended to everyone

Up close and personal. Totally worth it.

Stu 25 February 2020

I bought this as a gift for my wife, and we both had a wonderful time. Once you take out the entry cost ($38 per adult), the off road safari is under $50 each and I think that is great value. There is a free bus that covers a much of the same route but sticks to a set path and is only about half the duration. The off-road safari goes much closer to the animals and they provide a lot more information, answer questions etc. Highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect day

Disnne 13 February 2020

My husband and I had a wonderful off road animal safari tour. The 20 seat vehicle was only 3 weeks old and very comfortable. On this day we were the only customers with Helen our lovely tour guide. The animals were magnificent and we really felt like we were in Africa without having to leave home. Werribee Open Range zoo is really well cared for. The Cafe where we had lunch was also very good.

Off Road Safari was awesome

Kelli 5 January 2020

Loved the off road safari and how close we got to some of the animals, loved every bit of it. The driver was great and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this tour

Great experience

Deni 3 November 2019

We got so close to the animals than what we thought we would. The guide knew lots of information. it was raining and we were given a blanket. Such a great experience

Excellent Experience

Chris 30 October 2019

A wonderful one hour fifteen minute journey among African Animals right here in Melbourne. The tour guide/driver was passionate and very informative and drove us right up and close . A great chance to help wildlife survival and get some great memorable photos without having to travel to Africa.

Super safari!

Laurel 14 October 2019

This experience gave us everything advertised and more! The animals were incredible and so close! The tour guide on our bus (Gordon) was funny and knowledgeable, great personality! Once the tour was over we had full access to the rest of the zoo and cafes. It was just incredible! There was an easy process to follow to book, a reminder before the day and no problems on the day. I highly recommend red balloon experiences, if this was anything to go by!
