Play Zurk’s Learning Safari Online

Zurk's Learning Safari came out in 1993 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games lineup, developed by Soleil Software. It was one of those educational titles from the era that tried to blend learning with simple adventure, aimed at younger players who were just getting comfortable with a keyboard and navigating early graphical interfaces.

You control Zurk, a blue alien, as you explore different ecosystems like the African savanna and the rainforest. The main goal is to help him collect data on animals by identifying tracks, matching animal calls, and spotting creatures hidden in the environment. You move screen by screen, using simple keyboard commands to interact with objects and solve basic puzzles. The pacing is relaxed, with no time pressure, and the difficulty is gentle enough for children. It feels like a calm, curious stroll through a digital nature book.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
