Safari in Istanbul


However, only a small percentage of visitors come to Jungle Istanbul with the intention of enjoying only one attraction. We strongly advise you to visit the Dungeon and Jungle Park while you're there. The Dungeon is a scarier version of Safari, though Jungle Park is the place's main attraction. More than a hundred animal species on the verge of extinction can be seen there. Some rare and exotic species can be seen! If the virtual safari in Istanbul's Jungle Park did not meet your needs, book a Sapanca Lake & Maşukiye Daily Trip to see one of the country's most naturally breathtaking locations, not only in the Marmara Region.


Where is Safari in Istanbul?


Safari Istanbul, like the Dungeon and Jungle Park, is located in the Jungle Istanbul, and it is also located in the Isfanbul Shopping Mall in Eyup. Unfortunately, there is no metro line that runs there, but buses can also be used to get there. The IETT buses with the numbers 39, 39Y, 39D, 39O, 47, 47L, 47E, 47T, 49A, 49G, 49Y, and 49T stop by or next to Isfanbul Shopping Mall, so you can take the one that departs from or passes by the bus stop nearest to you. If you need to get to the Safari Istanbul from Asia, the easiest way is to take the Marmaray to Yenikapi station and then switch to the 39 or 39D buses. Buses with the numbers 47 and 47E also run from Eminonu to the Isfanbul Shopping Mall, which can also be reached by ferries from Uskudar or Kadikoy in Istanbul.


Is Safari in Istanbul Covid-safe?


Jungle and Safari staff take precautions very seriously. Other than that, in comparison to other countries, Istanbul is a low-risk travel destination, and travel experts are also very cautious about Covid measures. During your safari experience, social distance is preserved. At any given time, the number of visitors is restricted. Furthermore, if you buy Istanbul Tourist Pass, you also choose Covid safe travel, as there is a lower risk of transmission when registering or visiting Istanbul's attractions such as Safari, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace.


What is Istanbul Tourist Pass?


Everyone is aware that the city never ceases to amaze its visitors. There are plenty of historical landmarks, cultural attractions, and museums to visit in this cosmopolitan metropolis. Istanbul's magic derives not only from its historical sites but also from its inhabitants and living culture. When you visit Istanbul, you'll want to get to the center of the city's culture as quickly as possible. As a result, we recommend that you buy an Istanbul Tourist Pass for your journey to Istanbul.
