About us

Rabat Zoo is the translation of the Royal ambition to provide the Kingdom’s capital with a structure in line with the scale and quality of major projects, and in compliance with international standards and requirements of sustainable development constitute the cornerstone of all of the development projects undertaken by the Kingdom.
Morocco; whose geographical location and the combination of biological, climatic and geological factors have provided it with a biological diversity, a rich landscape and a singular cultural dimension in the Mediterranean basin; offers some forty natural ecosystems sheltering various plant and animal species, many of which are endemic.
It is in this context that Rabat Zoo comes to integrate, with the mission to present a configuration of this wealth, to constitute a space of conservation of the Saharan and African animal species, and a center of studies for scientific knowledge on species – including endangered ones.
As such, the zoo focuses its exhibition on a range of wildlife species in Africa, specifically the

Moroccan fauna with emblematic species such as the Atlas lion, the barbary sheep, the Saharan antelopes and the Bald Ibis; for which Morocco is home to the last viable wild colonies in the world.
The habitats of these species are conceived as reproductions of territories, similar to those of their environment of origin, in order to create the same original living conditions. And offer this fauna a frame of expression as natural as possible reproducing wild behaviors and avoiding artificially creating exogenous ecosystems.
Rabat Zoo, under the label “Wild Encounter” offers to its visitors different experiences and creative educational entertainment targeting both adults and children, responding to the progressing curiosity of visitors. The zoo is positioning itself through its scientific research programs and conservation of rare and endangered species to develop a pole of research on wildlife on an international scale.
