Bonko | Safari & Zoo WordPress Theme 1.0.9

Bonko is a vibrant, feature-rich WordPress theme specifically designed for zoos, safari parks, aquariums, and animal preservation centers. While themes like "Law Practice" focus on formality, Bonko is all about excitement, conservation, and family-friendly interaction.

It is a specialized "niche" theme that combines educational features with a powerful e-commerce engine for ticket sales and donations.

Key Features of Bonko

Animal & Exhibit Management: Dedicated layouts to showcase specific animals, their habitats, and "conservation status," making it easy to create an online educational directory.

Event Scheduling: Integrated support for The Events Calendar, allowing you to display feeding times, guided tours, and special holiday events.

Donations & Fundraising: Built-in compatibility with the GiveWP plugin (or similar), which is crucial for non-profit zoos looking to accept online donations.

WooCommerce Ready: Perfect for selling park tickets, annual memberships, or souvenirs from a gift shop.

Vibrant UI Elements: Includes custom animal-themed icons, bright color palettes, and playful typography that appeals to schools and families.

Practical Use Cases

Feature

Benefit for Your Park

Interactive Map Integration

Help visitors navigate your park using a customized Google Map or image-based map.

Advanced Gallery Layouts

High-quality "Instagram-style" grids to showcase wildlife photography.

Membership Tiers

Create "Silver," "Gold," and "Platinum" membership levels with different access rights.

Technical Foundation

Builder: Usually built on Elementor, giving you full drag-and-drop control over every section.

Mobile Optimized: Essential for visitors who are browsing the site on their phones while physically walking through the zoo.

One-Click Demo: Allows you to import the "Safari" or "Zoo" demo content instantly so you don't have to start from a blank page.

Pro-Tips for a Zoo Website

Livestream Integration: If your zoo has "Animal Cams," Bonko makes it easy to embed YouTube or Vimeo live feeds directly onto an animal's profile page.

Highlight Conservation: Use the "Our Mission" sections to explain your breeding programs or wildlife rescue efforts. This builds significant trust with modern, eco-conscious visitors.

Sticky "Buy Tickets" Button: In the theme settings, ensure there is a permanent "Book Now" or "Tickets" button in the header. This significantly increases conversion rates for tourist-heavy sites.
