Customer Reviews
Well organized. good variety of animals, no crowds and animals look in good shape.
Beautiful park with plethora of animals to see, a little pricey.
Visited the park in August 2025. Entrance fee ($100 usd per person) is higher than most other parks I’ve visited but still had a great time. Didn’t see lions or leopards this time but saw the following: Rhino 🦏 Baboon Kingfisher Tortoise 🐢 Elephant 🐘 Impala Giraffe 🦒 Zebra 🦓 Hippopotamus 🦛 Topi🫏 Warthog Crocodile 🐊 Eagle Prairie Dog
