Lemurs, sea lions and lion cubs in one afternoon, then lunch at the park

You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a guide, walk through the park to see lemurs, sea lions, camels and other wildlife up close, watch a sea lion show, take photos with the animals, and eat lunch at the park before returning to Tunis. The tour runs six hours and includes all entry fees, transportation and meals.

Step-by-step itinerary

Visit Friguia Park and lunch break

• Depart from Tunis to Friguia Park
• Explore animal enclosures and watch shows
• Take photos with animals
• Enjoy lunch at Friguia Park

The experience

Friguia Park opened in 2000 on the Mediterranean coast near Bouficha and covers 36 hectares of enclosures built to let animals move freely while keeping them visible. The park holds nearly 400 animals across 62 species, many of them rare or threatened with extinction. Your guide meets you in Tunis and drives you there in an air-conditioned vehicle, arriving with time to walk the grounds at a pace that lets you linger at each enclosure: lemurs, sea lions, camels and lion cubs are the animals most visitors photograph. The park also stages African folk performances and a sea lion show during the day.

Lunch happens at the park midway through: a salad, a main course of roast chicken, grilled escalope or cordon bleu with pasta, rice or fries, and sodas. The meal is included and eaten on-site, so you stay within the park grounds. After eating, you have time to revisit any enclosures or watch the shows before the drive back to Tunis.

The tour is private, meaning you travel with your own group and guide rather than joining strangers. Your guide speaks English, French or Arabic depending on what you request at booking. The vehicle is wheelchair accessible and all park areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap during the drive.
