Africam Safari

Africam Safari is a safari-style zoo located about 17 km from the city of Puebla, Mexico, which first opened on April 2, 1972. Around 2,500 animals of some 350 species roam freely across zones modeled on natural habitats such as the Okavango Delta and the Serengeti. It was the first institution in Mexico to successfully breed the golden eagle depicted on the national flag, and it stands as one of Latin America's leading centers for animal protection and species reproduction.
