This morning we express to Werribee where we visit the Werribee Open Range Zoo. The zoo has a special focus on African animals so we'll board our special safari bus to take a tour amongst some of the world's iconic grassland animals. We will be completely immersed in the sights, smells and sounds of the savannah as we travel across the Zoo's open plains. The magnificent wildlife including rhinos, giraffes, zebras and antelopes will seem almost touchable. After our tour we have some free time to enjoy a stroll along the walking tracks to see other animals such as the Meerkats. At a designated time, we meet the coach for our transfer to our hotel which is located nearby.
