Outwit, outplay, and outlast at this camp all about survival strategies. As“campers” explore what it takes for animals to survive in some of the most forbidding habitats on Earth, they’ll pick up the basics of tracking wild animals, find out how animals adapt to human impacts, and learn a little wilderness survival of their own. Along the way, campers will meet charismatic animal ambassadors and discover how the Virginia Zoo supports threatened and endangered animals around the world through efforts right here on Zoo grounds.

Adult Safari Camps run from 9:30 am – 3:00 pm daily. Check in starts at 9:15 am. Fee includes a Safari Camp t-shirt, Zoo admission, and light refreshments. The program includes a 30-minute lunch break. Participants may bring their own lunches or purchase food at our African Village Café or Beastro. All participants are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle. Closed-toe shoes are required for entering behind the scenes areas.

Adult Safari Camps are active programs. Daily activities incorporate walking through Zoo trails and standing for extended periods of time. Some activities may include bending or lifting. If you have concerns about whether Adult Safari Camp is a good fit for you, contact the Safari Camp Coordinator.
