A FantoTravel signature day trip to three different animal attractions in the Kyiv region – from an ostrich farm to bison at a forestry estate. A format for those who want to see more than one place in a day rather than spend the whole day in one spot.

Why go

  • Three completely different formats in one day – from a large farm to a forest reserve and a petting zoo
  • European bison – a species brought back from just a few dozen animals left in all of Europe in the last century
  • At the ostrich farm you can hand-feed the birds and see newly hatched chicks
  • The guide will talk about conservation programs for breeding rare species at the region’s forestry estates
  • A small-group format – without the rush of big bus tours for 40+ people

Good to know

Included in the FantoTravel price
The tour price includes transportation between all stops and a FantoTravel guide for the day.
Paid separately
Admission to Yasnohorodka and the Lemur zoo is paid separately on site at their own rates. The visit to the bison enclosure is arranged in advance with the forestry estate.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes, water, and insect repellent in the warm season.
Group size limit
The ideal group size is up to 8 people because of the minibus format and the intimate nature of the bison enclosure visit.
Tour language
The tour is conducted in Ukrainian.

The first stop is the Yasnohorodka Family Eco Park, the largest ostrich farm in Ukraine: more than 500 ostriches, a petting area with camels, llamas and goats, and an incubator with ostrich chicks. The route then leads to one of the Kyiv region’s forestry estates, where European bison are kept in semi-wild conditions – a species that was almost wiped out in Europe a hundred years ago and is recovering today thanks to breeding programs like this one. The day ends at the Lemur petting zoo, where you can hand-feed lemurs, raccoons and meerkats – this time without rushing, in an intimate setting, away from the weekend crowds of a shopping mall.
