Welcome to Dushanbe Zoo

Located in the heart of Dushanbe, the enchanting Dushanbe Zoo is a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Here's how you can reach the Dushanbe Zoo:

By Air:

If you're coming from outside of Tajikistan, the nearest airport is the Dushanbe International Airport. Upon arrival, you can hire a taxi or use public transportation to reach the Zoo:

• Taxi: Taxi services are readily available outside the airport. The ride to the zoo takes approximately 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.
• Public Bus: If you prefer using public transport, buses and minibusses operate from the airport vicinity to various parts of the city. Ask locals for the bus number that stops near the zoo.

By Road:

For those already in the city or arriving from other parts of Tajikistan, Dushanbe Zoo is accessible via the following modes of transportation:

• Car: If you're driving, navigate towards Rudaki Avenue, where the zoo is prominently located. Parking can be found in the surrounding streets.
• Bus: Several city bus lines stop near the zoo. Look for bus stops along Rudaki Avenue.
• Minibus (Marshrutka): Marshrutkas cover extensive routes in Dushanbe and are an economical way to travel. Ask locals for the marshrutka that passes by the zoo.

Important Tips:

• Always have some local currency (Tajikistani Somoni) as some taxis may not accept credit cards and buses typically require cash.
• It's helpful to have the zoo's address or a map handy to show your driver or to navigate if you're driving yourself.
