Self-Guided Wildlife Trail
Our Self-Guided Wildlife Trail program gives schools a flexible, curriculum-linked way to explore Gumbuya World's Wildlife Trail and meet over 70 animal species independently – no zookeeper guidance needed.
Students take the lead, and the animals do the teaching!
Using our purpose-built student booklets, classes free-roam the trail at their own pace, stopping at key animal habitats to work through guided conversation prompts and hands-on mini activities, all mapped to the Victorian Curriculum. You can add-on animal feed to your booking for each student, and stop by our Animal Farm, Wallaby Enclosure and Roo Haven to get up-close and hand feed our animals.

Flexible for Your Classroom Needs
Gumbuya World’s Self-Guided Trail program works as a standalone excursion or as an extension to one of our Zookeeper-led programs. It's ideal for schools wanting a more independent experience, teachers looking to tie a specific unit to a real-world setting, or groups who simply want to explore at their own pace. We're happy to help you plan a visit that works for your classroom.
