NATURE · ZOO · KEVADIAJungle Safari
Wildlife by the statue — the Jungle Safari at Kevadia, a large hillside zoological park near the Statue of Unity, home to animals and birds from around the world.
A hillside zoo
The Jungle Safari (officially the Sardar Patel Zoological Park) is one of the headline attractions of the Kevadia complex — a large, modern zoological park laid out across terraced hillsides near the Statue of Unity. It houses a wide range of animals and birds, both native and exotic, in landscaped enclosures and aviaries, including a large geodesic-dome aviary, and is designed as a state-of-the-art, family-friendly attraction.
Combined with the statue, the gardens and the other Kevadia sights, it helps make the area a full and varied day out for families. A green, animal-filled counterpoint to the engineered grandeur nearby — a zoological park, ticketed, and great for families.
