[2025 Busuanga Attraction] Travel Guide for Calauit Island National Park (Updated Apr)

Calauit Safari Park, formerly known as Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, is a 3,700-hectare land that is known for the thriving population of giraffes and zebras. Established on August 21, 1976, this park was an initiative of President Ferdinand Marcos during his regime when he brought the African wildlife from Kenya all the way to the lone island of Calauit in Busuanga. The zebras and the giraffes were more unconcerned to tourists. It was noticeable how they were oblivious to our presence. Neither could these creatures ignore the temptation brought by their food. The park gave us the opportunity to feed the giraffes. As the tour guide handed over a handful of branches to us, the gentle giants approached us and bent over their necks to reach for the leaves. It was a brief encounter with them. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#travelinspiration#springholiday#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Coron is such a beautiful island with many activities to do. I would be happy to go back again.#familytravel #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo #familytravel

Why you SHOULD NOT MISS going to Calauit Safari Park? It was one of a kind experience. We love the part when we fed the giraffes with leaves. I was afraid for first few minutes that they might bite my hands but they are so harmless. My heart is full knowing that animals here are free to roam around the island and are well taken care of. If you are visiting Coron, you will encounter places offering so many kinds of tours. Mostly people who only have limited time, do the island hopping tours but for those who has a lot of time and who had enough of snorkeling and getting their tan on the beach or just want to have a break from salt water, something peculiar like seeing some free-ranged animals is a must do. The Calauit Safari Park is a 3,700-hectare game reserve and wildlife sanctuary in Calauit Island off Palawan province 's coast. This features African giraffes and zebras carried by a supposed translocation habitat trial involving Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. The sanctuary was established August 31, 1976. The conservation facility, previously known as Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, has since housed critically endangered species native to Palawan's Calamianes chain of islands. ##timetotravel
