About Safari at Nandankanan Zoo

Nandankanan Zoological Park is located 20 km away from the main city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Spread across a sprawling area of 400 acres, Nandankanan Zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife that includes flora, fauna and mammals. Nandankanan is home to nearly 1580 animals, including 634 mammals, 812 birds and 134 reptiles. Nandankanan also acts as a host zoo for white tigers. It is also the only zoo in India which is home to Patas Monkeys, Eastern Rosella variety of parakeet and Open-billed Stork (the second largest heronry for Open-billed Storks in the state). Nandankanan Zoo is also the premier zoo in the country where the Gharials took birth under captivity in the 1980s.

Nandankanan Zoo offers a host of attractions for tourists to enjoy. Out of the others, some of the interesting things that you can do in the zoo are enjoying a Bear Safari, Lion Safari, and a unique White Tiger Safari. A toy train also runs within the premises of the park where you can enjoy a ride and observe the wildlife up close. There are also facilities for boat rides, aerial ropeway and a cable car. However, the main attraction inside the Nandankanan Zoological Park is the jungle safari. There are two types of safaris available inside the park - the natural and artificial. But it is very important for tourists to understand the fact that since Nandankanan is a zoo and not a typical national park, Elephant Safari or Jeep Safari, as such, is not offered here. Therefore, tourists take a tour on foot to enjoy the wildlife here. You may ask for a golf-cart for senior citizens if you feel a walking tour is not possible.
