Description: A well maintained zoo covering 7 hectares and spread
across both sides of the D924 (a footbridge links the two sections). The
northern, smaller section has a mini-farm and a selection of exotic
birds, while the main area contains larger ‘jungle’animals – lions,
leopards. Tigers, monkeys etc…. The whole zoo is well laid out with themed gardens to show animals in their natural settings.
Due to be expanded in 2006 with a giraffe enclosure.
Our recommendations: Don’t miss the Lemur reserve where lemurs
run freely: the whole area is designed to teach children about respecting animals in their natural habitat.
For the children: Like most zoos this one will appeal more to
children up to around 14 years of age. An added bonus for younger
children is the games area at the end of the visit with bouncy castles,
inflatables and a ball pool – our children loved it!
