No, the Safari Egg was not the very first egg in Adopt Me, but it was the first egg to come from the Gumball Machine in the Nursery.

Quick Scoop

  • Players receive a Starter Egg when they first join, which hatches into basic pets like Dog or Cat, making it the earliest egg in the game’s progression, not the Safari Egg.
  • The Safari Egg is a limited legendary egg that released on July 5, 2019, cost 750 in-game Bucks, and was sold in the Gumball Machine until August 31, 2019.
  • The Safari Egg was specifically the first Gumball Machine egg, and then it was replaced by the Jungle Egg.
  • Community lists of egg order usually go: blue and pink eggs → Safari Egg → Jungle Egg → Farm Egg → Christmas Egg → Aussie Egg, and so on.

So, where does that leave the question?

If by “first egg in Adopt Me” you mean:

  • First egg you ever get as a player → that’s the Starter Egg, not Safari.
  • First limited Gumball Machine egg in the Nursery → yes, that was the Safari Egg.

In forum-style discussions, fans often call the Safari Egg “the oldest egg in the game” when they’re talking about rare, tradable eggs, but technically the Starter Egg and some early event eggs came before it.

TL;DR: The Safari Egg was the first Gumball Machine egg, but not the first egg ever in Adopt Me.
