If you're embarking on a family adventure with little ones, this is especially true!

A visit to a zoo or safari park is usually at the top of the itinerary, isn't it?

And honestly, adults love it just as much! 😉

The Vinpearl Safari we're diving into today isn't just a place to simply watch animals; it's somewhere you can see them right up close, feed them, and even play with them!

It's renowned as a must-do stop on any Phu Quoc adventure, featuring Vinpearl Safari and the Giraffe Restaurant.

When I visited, I was amazed by how close you can get!

I even got to see a giraffe's nostril up close! 😂

Ready to hop on the zoo tram like I did and explore freely?

Let's embark on an adventure to Vinpearl Safari!

1. Phu Quoc Vinpearl Safari & Giraffe Restaurant Information

​

​

Vinpearl Safari in Phu Quoc

is truly vast, living up to its title as the world's second-largest!

It's a place where you can meet diverse animals,

feed them, and engage in hands-on experiences,

making it an essential stop in Phu Quoc.

Among all the incredible experiences, the Giraffe Restaurant is particularly renowned!

It's all about feeding giraffes directly and capturing that perfect 'once-in-a-lifetime' photo!

​

I actually had my hair gently tugged by a giraffe... talk about a close encounter! 😉

For families traveling with children, it's an absolute no-brainer.

But even if you're visiting as a couple or on a friends' getaway,

the moment you come face-to-face with a giraffe up close,

you'll instantly think, "I'm so glad we came!"

I especially recommend it for families with kids

and couples who cherish capturing those perfect 'life shots' –

it's an absolute must-do!

​

Why, you ask?

Because you get to enjoy incredible hands-on experiences, interacting with all sorts of amazing animals!

2. Vinpearl Safari Ticket Price Comparison (On-site vs. Online Booking)

Booking in advance is not only cheaper than buying tickets on-site,

but you also get to skip the queue and enter directly with a QR code!

Phu Quoc, being in hot Southeast Asia, can get pretty warm, right?

Imagining paying in Vietnamese Dong (VND) on the spot and

then waiting in line? You'll be exhausted before you even get in! 😩

With Phu Quoc summer temperatures often soaring close to 40 degrees Celsius,

queuing at the ticket booth can be truly excruciating.

And while you're at it, definitely opt for the zoo tram,

it'll save you from any heat-induced squabbles... trust me! 😉

(Not that I'm speaking from personal experience, of course... definitely not! 😂)

As a budget-conscious working professional myself,

I compared various booking platforms, and

I found Trip.com to be excellent for purchasing tickets for Vietnamese destinations, you know?

3. Giraffe Restaurant Best Seats & Feeding Tips

As soon as you enter the safari, enjoy spotting all sorts of animals,

then hop on the shuttle (Zoo Tram) and head straight to the Giraffe Restaurant!

I got a little sidetracked on the Zoo Tram, watching other animals,

so I arrived a bit later, and there were so many people that

it was hard to get a good photo.. sigh.

So I ended up seeing a lot of giraffe nostrils, haha.

I wanted to find the best spot too,

so I did some research and found some amazing pro tips that I'm excited to share with you!

​

​

The Best Spot

They say the **seats by the railing** at the very edge of the restaurant,

where the giraffes frequently poke their heads out, are the absolute best!

Buying Food

Giraffe food (carrots, bananas) costs

around 30,000 VND (approx. ~$1) per basket.

​

Pro Tip

Giraffes have surprisingly long tongues! (Prepare to be amazed!)

If you hold a carrot high, the giraffe will bring its face close,

and that's your perfect photo opportunity.

Just get your camera ready! Stand by!

Record a video while snapping photos like a pro!

4. Diverse Animal Experiences at Vinpearl Safari

Watching the zebras drink water,

I found myself wondering, "Are you guys hot too..?"

Honestly, I wasn't sure what animal this was,

but it was exciting, so I just went "Wow~!" haha.

If you're a parent, you can't exactly tell your kids you don't know, so

be sure to quickly ask ChatGPT what it is, or...

If you listen carefully, people around you will be shouting out what it is,

so listen closely and share the knowledge with them... hehehe.

I absolutely adore elephants,

so I made sure to try the feeding experience!

If you greet the elephants,

they'll even greet you back!!

​

​

The photo might not quite capture it,

but in real life, even the enormous turtles were fascinating, and I had a blast exploring!

Even as an adult, safaris are so much fun.. haha!

Recommended Itinerary

8 AM Open Run → Straight to Giraffe Restaurant → Safari Bus Tour

Following this sequence is the most efficient way to avoid the heat and make the most of your visit.

Phu Quoc Vinpearl Safari

isn't just a place to observe animals;

it's all about direct, immersive experiences!

The Giraffe Restaurant, in particular, is a paid activity, so there's an extra cost,

but once you've snapped some selfies and funny photos with the giraffes,

it will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable moments of your independent trip to Phu Quoc. LOL!
