What Are Safari Egg Pets in Grow a Garden?
Safari Egg pets are special companions in the popular Roblox game Grow a Garden. These pets were introduced during the Safari Harvest Event and have quickly become some of the most sought-after companions in the game. Each Safari pet comes with unique abilities that can help you grow better crops, earn more rewards, and progress faster in the game.
The Safari Egg itself has a distinctive appearance with a faint brown base and greenish top color. When you place it in your garden, it takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch into one of the five available pets. The rarity of these pets ranges from Common to Divine, with each rarity level offering more powerful abilities.
Complete List of Safari Egg Pets and Their Abilities
Here’s a complete breakdown of all the pets you can get from the Safari Egg in Grow a Garden:
| Pet | Rarity | Passive Ability |
| Oxpecker | Common | All Safari pets start with 15.29 seconds less cooldown after finishing their abilities |
| Zebra | Rare | Every 20 minutes in real time, a Zebra stampede happens, giving you Safari-themed rewards. There’s a 10.21% chance for the stampede to happen again |
| Giraffe | Legendary | Every 14.31 minutes eats a fruit at least 10 studs high and increases its sale value by 1.64 times. The plant from which the fruit is eaten advances its growth time. An Arid mutation is applied to other fruits on the same plant |
| Rhino | Mythical | Every 24 minutes, either a random fruit gets the Mirage mutation or the hatch time of a random egg is halved |
| Elephant | Divine | Every 19.32 minutes, a random pet of age 49 or more is changed back to 1, and its base weight is increased |
Each of these pets offers unique benefits that can significantly improve your gardening experience. The Oxpecker might be Common, but its ability to reduce cooldown times for all Safari pets makes it valuable even in late-game setups.
How to Get Safari Egg in Grow a Garden?
There are three primary ways to get a Safari Egg in Grow a Garden. Each method has its own advantages and requirements, so let’s explore them in detail.
1. From Contributing to Safari Harvest Event
The Safari Harvest Event is the main way to obtain Safari Eggs without spending real money. Here’s how it works:
- Go to the central area and interact with the Safari Joyce NPC
- Check which plants she needs by looking at her thinking box above her head
- Harvest the required plant types from your garden
- Submit all the plants to increase global Safari Harvest points
For every 2,000 points you contribute, you’ll receive a random Safari reward. However, the chance to get a Safari Egg from these rewards is quite low – only 4.23% for a single egg and 0.85% for three eggs. You may need to participate multiple times to finally get an egg.
The points you earn depend on the rarity of the plants you submit:
- Common: 1 Point
- Uncommon: 2 Points
- Rare: 3 Points
- Legendary: 4 Points
- Mythical: 5 Points
- Divine: 6 Points
- Prismatic: 7 Points
- Transcendent: 8 Points
2. Purchasing From Safari Shop
If contributing to the event seems too time-consuming, you can purchase the Safari Egg from the Safari Shop. Here’s how:
- Contribute enough to the Harvest Event to unlock the Safari Egg in the event shop
- The shop is located just to the right of the central event area
- Interact with the Wilderness Will NPC to view the shop items
- Purchase the Safari Egg for 30,000,000 Sheckles
Sometimes the egg might not be in stock, and you’ll need to wait for it to restock. The restock time can be as short as 45 minutes or up to an hour, depending on the global Safari Harvest points accumulated.
3. From In-Game Shop
Lastly, you can buy the Safari Egg from the in-game shop using Robux. This is the fastest but most expensive method:
- 1 Pack: 149 Robux
- 3 Pack: 429 Robux
- 10 Pack: 1,249 Robux
The advantage of spending Robux is that you get a Premium Safari Egg, which has a pity system. Opening every 125 eggs gives you a chance to get any of the Safari pets with a Rainbow mutation, or a guaranteed divine pet on every 100 eggs you open.
What Is the Safari Harvest Event?
The Safari Harvest Event is a limited-time event in Grow a Garden that runs from November 1-15, 2025. It’s similar to past events like the Summer Harvest Event and introduces new content including the Safari Egg, Safari-themed seeds, pets, and gears.
During this event, players contribute plants to the Safari Joyce NPC to earn points. These points contribute to both individual rewards and global milestones. The event features a unique currency called Sheckles, which you can use to purchase exclusive items from the Safari Shop.
The event also introduces several community rewards that unlock as global milestones are reached:
- 250M Points: Safari Egg available in Safari Shop
- 500M Points: Safari Rain Weather Event
- 800M Points: Safari Shop Cooldown changed to 45 minutes
- 1B Points: Lush Sprinkler available in Safari Shop
- 4B Points: Mini Shipping Container available in Safari Shop
- 7B Points: Safari Night Weather Event
- 9B Points: Safari Totem Charm available in Safari Shop
- 11B Points: Safari Drought Weather Event
- 13B Points: Baobab Seed available in Safari Shop
- 15B Points: Safari Oasis Weather Event
- 17B Points: Safari Shop Cooldown changed to 30 minutes
- 21B Points: Safari Stampede Weather Event
- 25B Points: Safari Shop Cooldown changed to 15 minutes
Which Safari Pets Are Best for Your Garden?
While all Safari Egg pets have useful abilities, some stand out more than others. If you have more than five pet slots, we recommend placing all Safari pets at once since they work well together. However, if you have limited slots, here are our top recommendations:
Rhino
The Rhino is arguably the best Safari pet despite not being the highest rarity. Its ability to either apply the Mirage mutation to fruits or halve egg hatch time is incredibly valuable. The Mirage mutation is one of the best mutations in the game, and reducing hatch times can save you hours of waiting.
Giraffe
The Giraffe offers multiple benefits that can trigger simultaneously. It can increase the sale value of fruits, advance plant growth, and apply the Arid mutation to other fruits on the same plant. This makes it excellent for players who focus on growing and selling high-value crops.
Oxpecker
Don’t underestimate the Common Oxpecker! Its ability to reduce cooldown times for all Safari pets makes it a valuable support pet. When combined with other Safari pets, it can significantly increase their effectiveness by allowing them to use their abilities more frequently.

Safari Egg vs Premium Safari Egg: What’s the Difference?
When purchasing Safari Eggs with Robux, you receive Premium Safari Eggs instead of regular ones. These premium versions come with several advantages:
- Pity System: Premium Safari Eggs have a pity system that guarantees better results. Every 100 eggs you open guarantees a divine pet, and every 125 eggs gives you a chance to get any Safari pet with a Rainbow mutation.
- Rainbow Mutation: The Rainbow mutation is exclusive to Premium Safari Eggs and makes pets significantly more valuable and powerful.
- Increased Value: Premium Safari Eggs and the pets from them have higher trading value in the community.
However, these benefits come at a cost. Premium Safari Eggs can only be obtained with Robux, making them inaccessible to players who prefer not to spend real money on the game.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a Safari Egg to hatch?
A Safari Egg takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch in Grow a Garden. This hatch time is the same for both regular and Premium Safari Eggs. You can reduce this time by using pets with abilities that lower egg hatch times, like the Rhino.
Can you get Safari Eggs after the Safari Harvest Event ends?
Yes, you can still get Safari Eggs after the Safari Harvest Event ends, but the methods will be limited. The Safari Shop will likely disappear, leaving only the in-game shop option with Robux. The event-based method of contributing to Safari Joyce will no longer be available.
What’s the best way to get Sheckles for the Safari Shop?
The best way to get Sheckles is by participating actively in the Safari Harvest Event. Focus on harvesting and submitting high-rarity plants, as they give more points. You can also complete quests and challenges that reward Sheckles. Some players recommend growing specific high-value crops that can be sold for Sheckles.
Are Safari pets tradable in Grow a Garden?
Yes, Safari pets are tradable in Grow a Garden. You can trade them with other players for different pets, items, or currency. The value of each Safari pet depends on its rarity and abilities, with Divine and Mythical pets being the most valuable in trades.
How do I increase my chances of getting a Divine pet from Safari Egg?
The best way to increase your chances of getting a Divine pet is by purchasing Premium Safari Eggs with Robux. These have a pity system that guarantees a divine pet every 100 eggs. For regular Safari Eggs, your chances are based on the standard drop rates, with Divine pets being the rarest at approximately 1-2% chance per egg.
