Safari Eco Park

Have you ever met a llama, fed a camel or scratched a kangaroo's back? You can share an experience like none other at Safari Eco Park, which sits on 40 acres of land on the north-western peninsula, Chaguaramas, Trinidad. The Hidden Zoo!! Get a chance to see a wide range of animals up close and personal. Each tour provides the breathtaking experience of seeing some of the world's most wonderful wildlife up close; even species of animals new to the country. This is a great opportunity for groups of all sizes and interests.


From my personal experience, the Safari Eco Park tour at Chaguaramas was a peaceful, informative, relaxing, enjoyable outing for my family. We were spoilt as there were only six of us for this tour but we enjoyed every minute of it. Our tour guide was extremely passionate about sharing his knowledge and pointed out some of the wildlife we had encountered, while also giving us such amazing facts about each animal. The descriptions provided of the animals were so vivid that I truly felt that I was part of an excursion in the jungles of Africa.

What makes this place so unique is the layout and personal interaction we had with the wildlife and the amount of effort put into making the park more eco-friendly. We were afforded the opportunity to not only feed, pet and play with camels, kangaroos, zebras, llamas, ponies, horses and macaws but to also enter some of their enclosures. Of course, I was a little apprehensive being that close to some of the animals, but with personnel on hand to ensure my safety, my trip was a breeze.


Now it's your turn to master your fears and recognize the beauty that lies within this park. Trust me, it will not disappoint. Even scenes of kangaroos and camels will astound your eyes. Yes in Trinidad! Who would have thought? You certainly have to be there to believe it. Other interesting animals include cougar, monkeys, wild boar, piglets, porcupine, and peacocks.



No matter where you go or what you see, this tour is guaranteed to thrill and amaze you!

There is more excitement to come in the near future with additions to the animal family and larger enclosures for the animals. With protecting Mother Nature at the forefront, these animals are bound to feel more at home at Safari Eco Park.

    It's good to know that I could be able to see unfamiliar animals other than the emperor Valley zoo. Staying clear of camels and lamas though I'm comfortable with my own saliva

Cabin at the Pines

Cabin at the Pines is the perfect Eco-lover getaway location. A stunning handcrafted wooden cabin, located in a very secluded and private area in St. Anns, sits within half an acre of flat land surrounded by a forest of Caribbean pine that affords marvelous views down to Port of Spain and inland over the hills that surround Port of Spain. Just as how any getaway should be, away from the crowd. This dreamy cabin offers such serenity that you would expect it to be out in the deep of the forest, but this is not the case. Trust me, I was lost for words upon arrival. I could not believe that this little piece of heaven existed in Trinidad. Who would have known? The drive to the cabin is nothing short of an adventure, but the mountain road is very steep and as a result, I would strongly recommend that you use a four wheel drive - anything short of this is a no go. This spot makes it great for weddings, parties, baby showers, teas, dinners, limes and any other entertainment e

Get away from the hustle of city life and into the Arima countryside for a wild four-mile ride on an ATV. Hop on a single-seat all-terrain vehicle and enjoy this off-road romp through Arima's landscape of lush forest, featuring sand, mud, and anything else Mother Nature offers. You will definitely get your adrenaline pumping, because I know I did! The trail you will embark on is designed to fit all skill levels, so be prepared to have an exciting and exhilarating experience. Prepare for a trail full of bumps, dips, and twists and turns. I had a blast racing along the trail and through the mud!! A lot of dirt was kicked up, but this just made the experience more thrilling. Upon arrival, riders will be given a ten-minute introduction on how to operate the vehicle, including safety instructions and will be provided with helmets, gloves, and goggles as a safety precaution. This is considered mandatory for all drivers and riders. You will feel safe and secure, whether you are an

Kayaking in Chaguaramas

Nothing to do this weekend? Try Kayaking! If you love the water like I do, then come and experience kayaking in Chaguaramas. This fun activity will allow you to work out your arms while taking in the gorgeous views of the North-Western peninsula. You may even get the chance to spot marine iguanas on the rocks and in the sea, and capuchin monkeys in the trees. You can begin your experience at Williams Bay, which is actually a great place to kayak. This bay provides you the opportunity to kayak in a relatively sheltered bay as the north-western peninsula blocks the currents of the Caribbean Sea. Williams Bay You even have a chance to witness a new fixture at Williams Bay - Trinidad's "Silver Surfer" (taken from the Fantastic Four Comics). His attire is a full silver body suit, silver face paint, and a surf or boogie board covered entirely in aluminum foil and powered by a motor.  I must say, my friends and I, who are also beginners, had an amazing
