Everyone is welcome at Malkia Park
Let us not allow them to continue suffering in undignified conditions and finally give them a peaceful and a happy life.

Although the primary idea of Malkia Park was to provide the best possible living conditions for felines, gradually bears, monkeys, parrots and ungulates also found their home here. To this day, more than 75 species, subspecies and breeds of animals have found their home here. We cooperate with other zoos and try to provide the most dignified living conditions for all the animals that we can accommodate.

In our zoo, we care for a wide range of animal species from different continents. We provide comfortable living conditions that simulate their natural environment and take care of their physical and emotional well-being. In addition to animal care, we offer visitors educational and experience programs. We cooperate with international organizations to preserve endangered species and are actively involved in programs for the protection of wild animals.
It is said that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. See for yourself on this video.

Our efforts are based on the latest knowledge in the field of zoology and nature conservation. We employ a team of qualified professionals who care for animals with love and respect. Our garden is designed to provide animals with an environment that supports their natural behavior and needs. We cooperate with other zoos, with which we exchange experiences and constantly learn. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices in all aspects of the garden’s operation.

At Malkia Park, we believe that every species has an irreplaceable value and place in the ecosystems that make up our world. We are motivated by a passion for the protection and preservation of nature and animals, because the diversity of life on Earth is priceless and constantly fascinates us. We feel responsible for future generations, and therefore we try not only to take adequate care of the animals in our care, but also to take an interest in educating the public. We believe that education and personal contact with wild animals can inspire us to create positive change in the world. We want our visitors to leave the garden with a deeper understanding and respect for nature.


Malkia Park was originally founded to rescue big cats, reflected in our full name: Malkia Park Big Cats Rescue. Our mission began as a sanctuary for animals that had become unwanted or could no longer be cared for by their original owners.
Over time, our work expanded to include bears, ungulates, monkeys, and many other species in need of a safe and loving home. Today, we provide a second chance to animals of all kinds—from majestic lions to tiny parakeets.
A Safe Haven for more than 300 Animals
Spanning 7.2 hectares, Malkia Park is now home to more than 300 animals from 70 different species, rescued from private owners, zoos, circuses, and other facilities.
Creating a Natural Refuge
While these animals can never return to the wild, our goal is to replicate their natural environment as closely as possible, ensuring they live a comfortable and enriched life.
