This vast area allows the zoo to house a diverse range of animals in enclosures that replicate their natural habitats, providing visitors with an immersive and educational experience.

Conservation Efforts at São Paulo Zoo
Established in June 1957, the São Paulo Zoo has a long history of conservation efforts. It has been actively involved in various recovery programs for seriously endangered Brazilian species. This commitment to conservation not only ensures the survival of these species but also provides visitors with the opportunity to learn about these endangered animals and the efforts being made to protect them.
Zoo Safari at São Paulo Zoo
In May 2001, an area adjacent to the São Paulo Zoo, previously occupied by the company 'Simba Safari', was reincorporated into the zoo. It was reopened to the public as 'Zoo Safari' on June 5 of the same year. This addition provides visitors with the opportunity to take tours where they can see animals in the woods or drive through areas where animals roam freely, offering a unique and immersive wildlife experience.
