    It seems that this zoo is not included in the media section for Spain, and probably is the third largest zoo in the Madrid area. What can you add about this safari zoo, any of you zoochatters?

    2 African Lions were born at the start of the year, they are a male and a female named Zazu and Nala.
    On May 18th, a Griffon Vulture chick was born.
    On March, a dromedary camel and a zebra were born.

    It's my favourite zoo in Madrid. Every year they make new exhibitions. Recently they made a new crocodile area and a new elephant viewing area outside the safari

    I think they are building a new iberian wolf exhibition

    I'd say that Safari Madrid is the only good safari park in Spain (I don't consider Selwo Aventura a safari park, since you don't drive thru the exhibit unless you pay extra).

    Hi Guys,
    I trying to build a katanga lions in europe database.
    In Safari Madrid there should be many. Based on their Facebook they have:
    MASAI, MARA, ZAZU, NALA, SIMBA, MATILDE, ANTONIO, FIN, AMY.

    Can anyone confirm that? And if you have any details about them that would be amazing.
    Best!

    Two young white rhino bulls arrived at Safari Madrid, Amady from Kolmarden and Moloto from Copenhagen. There are some pictures of their arrival on Safari Madrid's FB page.
