Friguia Park & Hammamet Medina — Private Family Day

What is this tour?

Friguia Park & Hammamet Medina — Private Family Day: 7.5 hours from Hammamet, 2 places, with a car and driver for your group only — from €103 per vehicle for up to 4 travellers.

Where this day goes: Friguia Park — Tunisia’s great wildlife park at Bouficha, some 400 African animals in wide open-air enclosures, visited in the morning when they are at their liveliest; the Medina of Hammamet — whitewashed lanes, artisan souks and the kasbah above the sea, taken slowly in the afternoon; and, if you feel like it, a coffee or dessert right on Hammamet beach to close the day.

The vehicle is yours alone: no coach, no strangers, no detour to the souvenir shop. You leave at the hour that suits you, stay longer wherever you want to, and the price is agreed before you leave the hotel — no deposit, nothing added on arrival.

What you see

• Friguia Park in the morning — 60+ species, about 400 animals, drive-through savannah and sea-lion shows
• Hammamet Medina — whitewashed lanes, artisan souks and the kasbah above the sea, at a slow pace
• An optional seaside coffee on Hammamet beach to end the day
• Made for families — and genuinely private: your vehicle, your rhythm, no groups

The day, hour by hour

1. 08:30
   Pick-up From your hotel or the airport.

   • A short drive toward Bouficha
   • The day ahead: wildlife in the morning, coastal culture in the afternoon
2. 09:15
   Friguia Park Arriving early is the whole trick.

   • More than 60 species and about 400 animals in large enclosures
   • Drive-through savannah plus a walking route
   • Sea-lion shows and feedings, when scheduled

   Plan 2.5-3 hours: the animals are at their liveliest in the morning, before the heat.

   
3. 12:00
   Lunch — the natural break At the park or just outside it.

   • Inside Friguia — easy and family-friendly
   • Or a local restaurant on the road to Hammamet

   Why here? After the walking, before the change of scene — a perfect energy reset.
4. 13:15
   Transfer to Hammamet A short, relaxed drive of about 30 minutes — from nature to lifestyle.
5. 13:45
   Hammamet Medina A softer, aesthetic second half.

   • A stroll through the whitewashed medina
   • The kasbah overlooking the sea
   • Small souks and artisan shops
   • A relaxed café stop or a fresh juice

   Why the afternoon? Less pressure, more enjoyment — this half is meant to be slow.

   
6. 15:15
   Optional seaside moment The value booster, if you feel like it.

   • A quick stop on Hammamet beach
   • Coffee or dessert with the sea in front of you

   A little added emotion, with zero extra logistics.

   
7. 16:00
   Drop-off At your hotel.

Who this tour suits

A good fit for

• Travellers who would rather not share a coach with thirty strangers
• Short stays and cruise calls — out and back the same day
• Families and small groups up to 4 in one vehicle, at your own pace
• Anyone who does not want to rent a car or drive in Tunisian traffic

Probably not for you if

• You cannot manage uneven ground — ruins and medinas mean stone, steps and slopes
• You are looking for the cheapest seat on a shared bus rather than a private car

Best time to visit

Best months

April to June and September to October — mild, long days, sites uncrowded

Also good

November to March — cooler and green, occasional rain, very few visitors

Hardest months

Late July and August — hot and at its busiest along the coast

We run this tour year-round. In summer we start early so the walking is done before the heat, and in winter we simply start an hour later.
