One of the most anticipated additions is the Safari Egg, a limited-time item that introduces a fresh lineup of Safari-type pets with unique abilities. While still partially unreleased, players have already uncovered early details on how to prepare for and optimize Safari farming.

Safari Egg Overview

The Safari Egg is part of the Safari Harvest Event, added on November 1, 2025. It’s a limited event egg that requires 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch. Currently, the egg isn’t obtainable through normal gameplay and may only be accessible through admin or tester rights. However, once officially released, it will likely be obtainable through Safari Point milestones, Safari Crates, or special event challenges.

How Safari Farming Works

The Safari system focuses on raising Safari-type pets that enhance fruit growth, egg hatching, and special mutations. Here’s how to farm effectively once the Safari Egg becomes obtainable:

1. Set Up Your Safari Garden Area

Dedicate a section of your farm to Safari-type plants such as Baobab, Protea, and Thornspine. These plants are more compatible with Safari pets, producing fruits that yield higher Safari Points during the event.

2. Focus on Hatch Timers

The Safari Egg takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch, so use Rhino or time-boost gears to cut that time in half. The Rhino pet has a chance to ram random eggs in your garden, reducing hatch time significantly.

3. Pet Synergy Farming

Each Safari pet has unique abilities that complement farming:

• Oxpecker (50%) – Reduces cooldowns for Safari pets by 14–30 seconds after they use their ability. Great for ability looping.
• Zebra (25%) – Every 30 minutes, triggers a “Stampede” event, granting random Safari-related rewards. It can even re-trigger for bonus loot.
• Giraffe (16%) – Consumes tall fruits for up to 3x sell value and accelerates plant growth massively. Also spreads Arid mutation across the same plant.
• Rhino (8.5%) – Rams random fruits or eggs, granting Mirage mutations and halving egg hatch times.
• Elephant (0.5%) – Blesses aging pets by resetting their age to 1 while permanently increasing their base weight for stronger stats.

For maximum farming performance, a team of Rhino, Giraffe, and Oxpecker pets is ideal for faster growth, efficient harvesting, and cooldown reduction.

4. Use Boosting Items

Equip the Safari Totem Charm or Explorer Compass if available to improve fruit quality and increase mutation chances. Sprinklers and fertilizers still apply, but Safari-type pets add their own layer of multipliers.

5. Harvest for Safari Points

Fruits grown under Safari conditions reward Safari Points, used for unlocking event rewards like Safari Crates or rare gears. Keep harvesting and feeding your pets to trigger more ability rotations and passive effects.

Safari Egg Pets Tier List (Early Ranking)

S-Tier

• Elephant – Ultra-rare and powerful long-term pet with permanent stat growth bonuses.
• Rhino – Excellent for both egg hatching and Mirage mutation farming.

A-Tier

• Giraffe – High-value fruit multiplier and growth booster. Great for speeding up Safari plants.
• Zebra – Reliable for periodic Safari reward drops and event currency farming.

B-Tier

• Oxpecker – Useful for cooldown reduction but best paired with stronger pets for synergy.

The Safari Farm system adds strategic depth to Grow a Garden, encouraging players to combine plant management, pet synergy, and event farming. Even though the Safari Egg isn’t fully released yet, understanding its mechanics and preparing your setup early will give you a major advantage once it goes live.

Keep an eye on future updates, as new Safari pets and farming features are expected to roll out soon—potentially unlocking the full Safari Egg for all players. For now, start setting up your Safari zone, gather Safari seeds, and prepare your pets for the harvest ahead.
