Go there and contact
Zoo where you can observe local wildlife in a tropical forest dedicated to the conservation of rare or endangered species.
The Guadeloupe Zoo is located in the heart of the Basse-Terre massif on the Route de la Traversée. These 4 hectares of tropical forest are dedicated to the conservation of rare or endangered animal species. More than 85 endemic animal species from the West Indies and elsewhere, some 450 individuals, are housed here. You can observe local animals such as raccoons, iguanas, bats and dynastes, as well as species from French Guiana's wild fauna (monkeys, jaguars, ocelots, caimans, alligator turtles, anacondas, pumas and toucans). There's always something new at the zoo! Yes, at the beginning of 2024, several baby makis catta were born and joined the Guadeloupe Zoo family! They are lemurs from Madagascar, an endangered species.
To complete this discovery of the rich local biodiversity, the zoo offers its visitors a walk in the Canopy, included in the price of the visit! This safe, tree-top walk over suspension bridges is as unique as it is unforgettable!
Every day at 12 noon and 3.30 p.m., there are activities to share the passion of our caretakers. These are truly privileged moments between visitor and groomer, as they also help visitors understand the role of the Zoo de Guadeloupe and highlight the Zoo's actions to protect Guadeloupe's wildlife.
The walk is accessible to all, whatever the weather, and offers a real immersion into the heart of Guadeloupean nature.

Zoo bien aménagé, le plus c'est la balade au dessus de la canopée, original et fort sympathique.
