Review the 75-minute Deluxe Safari at Werribee Open Range Zoo, with off-road wildlife viewing, expert guides, pricing, tips, and honest value advice.

“I believe the Elephant Walk should have been included in the Deluxe experience. Our guide was a little too chatty and we spent time just sitting around filling in time, when we could have easily been looking at the elephants.”
