Ride through Korea’s most exciting animal encounters – where lions walk beside your bus and giraffes eat straight from your hand!

Safari World - Where Tigers and Bears Roam Right Beside You

Forget fences. At Safari World, you hop on a special safari bus that drives into the habitat of Korea’s most majestic wild animals. From rare white tigers and massive brown bears to mighty lions, you’ll see them roaming freely just outside your window.

The highlight? When a curious bear stands up to greet you through the glass, or a lion walks alongside your vehicle. It’s thrilling, safe, and unforgettable. The tour guide on board adds fun with live commentary in Korean (and basic English), making it easy to follow even if it’s your first time.

Lost Valley – Get Close to Giraffes and Gentle Giants

If you’re looking for a more peaceful yet unforgettable animal experience, Lost Valley is the perfect choice. Unlike Safari World’s thrilling encounters with predators, Lost Valley takes you on a slow safari ride through gentle hills and open fields, where you can observe some of the world’s most magnificent herbivores.

At the entrance, you can also spot meerkats and ring-tailed lemurs, making for a fun stop before the main tour begins.

Inside, you’ll see zebras, elephants, camels, and rhinos, along with over 20 different species living in harmony in a spacious, natural-style habitat. The vehicle moves slowly through each section, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the view and take photos.

The highlight for most visitors? Feeding a giraffe right from your seat. As the vehicle pauses, a giraffe gracefully leans into the window to take food from your hand — a magical moment of eye contact with one of the gentlest creatures on Earth, and the perfect photo opportunity.

Everland’s Safari World and Lost Valley aren’t just places to see animals — they’re living, breathing experiences where you can truly connect with wildlife.
Opportunities like this are rare in Korea, so if you’re visiting Everland, make sure these two attractions are at the top of your list!
