Zoobic Safari - Tiger Encounters

Zoobic Safari is the only tiger safari in the Philippines. If you want a close encounter with these ferocious felines, then this is the place to go. Located in Subic, Olongapo City, the safari houses more than two dozens of domesticated tigers.

While tigers are it's main attraction, the zoo also houses several animals. There is a section for animals that can be petted such as rodents, pigs, goats, albino carabaos and even a bear.

There is also a section there for Serpents featuring snakes and other reptiles.

The crocodile pit houses about three hundred Philippine Crocodiles known locally as "Buwaya". If you want these crocs to move, you can feed them chicken parts for Fifty pesos.

There is this little challenge at the zoo known as Hip Hop Bayawak where courageous guests could hop on cemented logs right in a pond full of monitor lizards. These lizards are quick and they even bite so it is quite a challenge to the participants.
There is also the Savannah known as the gaming part of the place. You will find a lot of ostriches, fowls, wild boars and potbellied pigs. You are not allowed to touch the animals thou or get-out from your vehicles. This part of the zoo is still undergoing development and the tour guide mentioned that management of the zoo is still in the process of importing animals to fill the place.

There is also an Aeta Trail in the place where native Ita put on a brief native dance show. After their performance, guests are free to take their pictures or get their pictures taken with them.

Subic was once a US military base. Sadly, the place almost became inactive when the Americans left them, but places and themes like these could certainly get Subic back at its feet.
