Nofa Wildlife Park & Visitors Centre

A Unique Experience in Saudi Arabia



Nofa Wildlife Park is located just a short drive from Riyadh - approximately 80 km from the Diplomatic Quarter.

The Nofa wildlife collection consists of eighteen different species of herbivores.  These include giraffe, zebra, eland, sable, wildebeest, pygmy hippo and ostrich.  There are more than 700 individual animals in the Park.  Please note that the collection does not include any carnivores (lions, tigers, etc.).

The Nofa Safari Drive Experience will take the visitor closer to these animals than they might expect.  Our specially modified safari vehicles will give unobstructed views of our wildlife.

The safety of our guests is always our prime consideration.

Associated with the Park we have our Visitors Centre.  Guests will be invited to take a walking tour of this area where they can have close up encounters with birds of prey, ground birds, baby ostriches, mara, giant tortoise, rabbits, porcupines and baboons.

The total time for the Wildlife tour is approximately two hours with one hour in the Park and one hour in the Visitors Centre.

Before you leave you will be invited to tour our Bird Centre & Picnic Area.  Here, you can walk through a number of our large aviaries and have close up encounters with some exotic birds.  You are welcome to bring a picnic and use the facilities available in this area, including picnic tables and childrens' playground.  Please note the Bird Centre & Picnic Area closes at 6:45 p.m. with all guests expected to leave by 7:00 p.m.

Our Park is open to the public every Saturday.  The entry fee is SR 150per person (including VAT).

Meet some of our animals


Giraffe

The giraffe is the tallest land animal at a height of about 5 meters.

Giraffes live primarily in savanna areas of the sub-Saharan region of Africa.   Its long legs, neck, and 46 centimeters tongue allow the giraffe to reach the tender leaves of the tallest acacia trees.

A giraffe’s spots are much like human fingerprints.

No two individual giraffes have exactly the same pattern.   The age of a giraffe can be calculated from its spots, the darker the spots, the older the giraffe.   Giraffes can live up to 25 years in the wild.

8 giraffes have been born at Nofa Wildlife Park.

Zebra

The Grévy's zebra, also known as the imperial zebra, is the most endangered of the three species of zebra due to hunting and habitat changes.

The Grévy's zebra is found in the semi-arid grasslands of Kenya and Ethiopia.   Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.

Each individual has unique markings and like human fingerprints, no two are alike.

Grevy's zebras grow up to 2.74 meters, weigh up to 449 kilograms, and stand up to almost 1.68 meters at the shoulder.   On average, males are about ten percent larger than females.
