Tap Safari Walkthrough [Guide]

Raise your own safari from scratch with Tap Safari from Pocket Games, the developer of other fun free games such as Tap Zoo, Tap Pet Hotel, and Tap Pet Shop for the Android and Apple OS. With Tap Safari, players are given a small patch of land which they would slowly build into a savanna teeming with wild animals for visitors to enjoy.

Game Concept
Tap Safari is a zoo building simulation game where players can purchase, breed, and cross breed animals that they can then put on display. Aside from this, there are a variety of exhibits and displays that they could add to make their safari more enticing to visit, as long as they have purchased enough land to accommodate it.

Currency
Coins and stars are the in-game currencies for Top Safari. You can use coins and stars to purchase a variety of items and animals within the game. Coins are collected at specific time intervals, while stars are purchased using real money. Stars, however, provide you with the chance to buy premium items that you cannot purchase using regular coins.

Experience
Experience can be gained by finishing achievements, buying animals, and hiring additional staff. Animals can give a player experience periodically, based on the type of animal and the number of animals that you have if a player has gained enough experience, he will gain another level, unlocking even more items and animals for sale, which would in turn allow him to earn even more coins and experience which he can use to further expand his safari.

Achievements
Achievements are mini-quests that a player can do to further enhance his Tap Safari gaming experience. Some achievements can be made simply by playing the game such as purchasing animals, breeding, or expanding land, while other achievements need some time and effort like buying a certain number of animals or getting a required number of structures made. Finishing achievements, aside from the personal glory, will earn you vast amounts of experience that will make you level up faster.

Leveling Up
Leveling up allows you to gain access to more animals and items to purchase in the store. Players level up by having many animals, winning achievements, and by hiring many staff members to take care of the safari for you. The better maintained your savannah, the faster you would be able to level up.

Animals
Tap Safari gives the player access to dozens of wild animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes, camels, and many more. The point of the game is to purchase, breed, and cross-breed the different types of animals so that your safari will have a diverse range of wildlife. Depending on the type of animal, you will be able to gain a specific number of coins and experience that you will have to collect periodically. Of course, these animals are the centerpiece of your safari, and you can place them as you wish within your land.

Breeding
If a gamer has two animals of the same kind, he can put it in the nursery and allow them to breed. Breeding takes a little time to complete, but the result will be a new animal that will help you earn more coins and experience. Breeding is limited by the number of nests available in the nursery, and all baby animals, whether they be mammals or birds, all come from hatched eggs as a result of said breeding.

Cross Breeding
Tap Safari allows for cross-breeding of different species no matter how diverse or different the species may be. They are a number of animals that a specific beast is allowed to cross-breed with, however. Players can mix and match as to which animals can result in cross-breeding different species, although there is absolutely no science or genetics involved here, as breeding a lion and hippopotamus can apparently create an African elephant. Still, gamers would be able to find it fun and interesting to experiment on this feature.

Store
The store allows gamers to purchase animals, decorations, staff, and land expansion using either coins or stars. Most items cost a lot of money, so be sure to save up and spend wisely. Some special animals and structures are unlocked only upon leveling up, or may be purchased exclusively via stars. These items would be used to further enhance, expand, and improve on your growing safari.

Land Expansion
Getting animals and other additional structures will take up valuable space in your safari. Thus, land conservation is a must by maximizing space and optimizing where you would be placing your roads and exhibits. Land expansion is available so that you may be able to place other structures and wildlife in this new area. Players are allowed to move around placed animals using the Move function for either aesthetic or strategic placement purposes.

Collecting and Maximizing Coins
In order to maximize coin production, it is important to regularly collect coins generated by animals, as well as pick up small valued coins in garbage. You may also sell off some animals or structures if you’re in dire need of cash, or would like to free up some valuable space. Most premium items cost a lot of coins, so it is very important for gamers to maximize coin collection for those valuable purchases.

Conclusion
Tap Safari is a nice, addictive building simulation that will provide gamers the chance to build their very own safari. This is great for animal lovers, and for those who love designing their own virtual environment. Although the gameplay is a bit one dimensional and there’s pretty much nothing else to do aside from the basic premise, it can provide gamers with an opportunity to build a wildlife savannah of their own. Tap Safari is also designed for solo play, as interactivity with friends on your social network is somewhat limited. Still, Tap Safari can offer moderate hours of playability that fans of the building sim genre would surely enjoy.

Tap Safari was developed by Pocket Games and is downloadable for free as an app for the Android OS, iPhone, and iPad.
