Safari Eggs are special collectible items in Grow a Garden that contain exotic pet companions inspired by African wildlife. These eggs were introduced in the Safari Update (version 2.4) and have quickly become one of the most sought-after features in the game. Unlike regular eggs, Safari Eggs have unique hatching mechanics and offer pets with specialized gardening abilities that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
Each Safari Egg has a chance to contain one of several different pets, with varying rarities and abilities. The excitement of not knowing which pet you’ll get, combined with the unique benefits each pet provides, makes Safari Eggs an engaging element of the game that keeps players coming back for more.
Based on my extensive research and gameplay experience, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all Safari Egg pets currently available in Grow a Garden. Let’s explore each one in detail:
The Elephant is the rarest Safari Egg pet, with only a 2% chance of hatching from any Safari Egg. This majestic creature comes with the “Water Storage” ability, which allows it to store water and automatically water your plants even when you’re offline. The Elephant can hold up to 50 units of water and will distribute it strategically to your thirstiest plants first.
Special Features:
With a 7% hatch rate, the Giraffe is one of the most sought-after Safari Egg pets. Its “Tall Reach” ability allows it to harvest fruits and vegetables from tall plants that would otherwise require ladders or special tools. This makes the Giraffe especially valuable for players growing sunflowers, corn, and other vertical crops.
Special Features:
The Lion, with a 15% chance of hatching, is both majestic and practical. Its “Predator Protection” ability keeps common garden pests like rabbits, birds, and insects away from your crops. This significantly reduces crop damage and eliminates the need for fences or scarecrows.
Special Features:
The Zebra has a 25% chance of hatching from Safari Eggs. Its “Pattern Growth” ability is unique among Safari pets – it boosts the growth rate of crops planted in patterns (like checkerboards or spirals). This makes the Zebra perfect for players who enjoy creating artistic garden layouts.
Special Features:
The Monkey is the most common Safari Egg pet, with a 51% chance of hatching. Its “Fruit Collection” ability automatically collects falling fruits and vegetables, preventing them from rotting on the ground. While not as rare as other Safari pets, the Monkey’s utility makes it a valuable addition to any garden.
Special Features:
Now that you know all about the Safari Egg pets, let’s discuss how to obtain these coveted items. There are several methods to acquire Safari Eggs in the game:

The most straightforward way to get Safari Eggs is through the daily reward system. After logging in for 7 consecutive days, you’ll receive a guaranteed Safari Egg. This is the most reliable method for players who check in regularly.
Periodically, the game hosts special Safari Events where Safari Eggs drop rates are increased. During these events (typically lasting 3-5 days), you can obtain Safari Eggs by:
Grow a Garden features a robust trading system that allows you to exchange items with other players. Safari Eggs are valuable trade commodities, and you can often acquire them by offering rare plants, decorations, or other pets in return.
For players who prefer instant gratification, Safari Eggs are available for purchase in the in-game shop. They can be bought with the premium currency (Garden Gems) at a rate of 200 Gems per egg. Special bundle deals often offer better value, such as the “Safari Pack” which includes 5 eggs for 800 Gems.
Once you have a Safari Egg, hatching it requires specific conditions. Unlike regular eggs, Safari Eggs need a special environment to hatch successfully. Here’s my step-by-step process:
After hatching dozens of Safari Eggs myself, I’ve learned some strategies to maximize your experience:
If you can be patient, I recommend saving your Safari Eggs for special Safari Events. During these events, the chance of hatching rarer pets like the Elephant and Giraffe is doubled.
Different Safari pets work well together. For example, the Elephant’s watering ability complements the Zebra’s pattern growth bonus. Try to create a team of pets that synergizes well with your gardening style.
Safari pets gain experience by helping with garden tasks. As they level up, their abilities become more powerful. A level 10 Elephant, for instance, can store 100 units of water instead of 50.
The game often features community challenges where, if enough players collectively hatch Safari Eggs, everyone receives bonus rewards. These are great opportunities to get extra Safari Eggs and rare items.
When dealing with Safari Eggs, I’ve seen many players make these common mistakes:
New Safari Egg pets are typically added during major game updates, which occur approximately every 2-3 months. The developers have hinted that a new aquatic-themed Safari Egg series will be released in the next update.
No, Safari Egg pets cannot die. They have a happiness meter that decreases if neglected, but this can be restored by interacting with them and giving them treats.
Yes, Safari Egg pets are available on all platforms where Grow a Garden is released, including mobile (iOS/Android), PC, and console versions.
Yes, you can have up to 5 Safari Egg pets active in your garden simultaneously. Additional pets can be stored in your Pet House.
Yes, certain Safari Egg pets like the Zebra can increase the likelihood of specific crop mutations when planted in patterns. The Elephant also slightly increases the chance of water-based mutations.
Once you trade away a Safari Egg pet, you lose all progress and levels associated with that pet. The new owner receives the pet at its current level.
No, Safari Egg pets cannot be bred with regular pets. They can only be obtained through hatching Safari Eggs or trading with other players.
Safari Egg pets don’t require special food, but they have favorite treats that increase their happiness more quickly. Each pet has different preferences – for example, Elephants love Watermelons, while Monkeys prefer Bananas.
You can store up to 20 Safari Eggs in your inventory at once. Additional eggs must be either hatched or traded before you can collect more.
Yes, Safari Egg pets work in all garden areas including the Greenhouse, Rooftop Garden, and Underwater Garden (once unlocked).
Safari Egg pets add an exciting layer of depth to Grow a Garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits for your gardening endeavors. Whether you’re hoping to hatch the legendary Elephant or you’re happy with a helpful Monkey, these exotic companions can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
Remember to save this page for future reference, as I’ll be updating it whenever new Safari Egg pets are introduced to the game. Happy gardening, and may your Safari Eggs hatch all the rarest pets!
