In the wild, tigers love to patrol their territories. Guided by their great sense of smell, they explore Asia's dense forests and endless waterways. Back at the Zoo, our nine tigers are offered a very similar experience.
Hidden behind the scenes - beyond the animal enclosures and exhibits at Australia Zoo - are many acres of undeveloped bushland; areas earmarked for future enclosures and Zoo expansions.
While these areas remain un-developed they provide the perfect place for our tigers to explore, graze and enjoy as their own - just as they would in the wild.
Australia Zoo's tiger handlers take our Bengal and Sumatran Tigers for walks everyday - individually, in pairs or with lucky Zoo guests. While exploring their territory, the tigers can go for a swim in one of the dams, observe other animals and look over large portions of the Zoo; taking in all the visual stimulants that pass them by.
As well as providing an excellent source of enrichment, exploring the bushland is a favourite pastime for our nine beautiful cats. They love it!
You can take a walk on the wild side with one of gorgeous tigers as they patrol their territory around the Zoo. Book a Tiger Walk now!

The news item about Tigers is absolutely wonderful & heart-warming. No doubt, this will go a long way in preserving these beautiful cats. Lucky cats too, living such a life. Cared for, all expenses paid & safe. I would have loved to be one of these cats!

I took a tiger walk in 2007 and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I work at an American zoo and tigers are my favorite but we rarely get hands on like this. I truly appreciate all that Australia Zoo does for animal conservation. They are really leading the way.
