Lory Park

Reviewed By RobFowler

This amazing animalbrehad sanctuary is open to the public and is a great way for kids and animals to see some very spectacular and endangered birds, primates and other animals including Lions and Tigers. It is well worth a visit. Lots of informative plaques and notes at each cage tell the whole story.

Monte casino bird park

Reviewed By SwaziSue - Gaborone, Botswana

The children love it here, favourites are the walk through aviary and especially the venomous snake room. The show is good too. Top tip is to go early and you can have the place to yourself. The play area is nice for younger kids.

Johannesburg Zoo

Reviewed By kevinlL7859LF - Centurion, South Africa

I’m one of those who loves seeing animals out in the wild rather than seeing them in zoos, but we all enjoyed a day out at this zoo. There is a huge variety of animals (mammals, birds, reptiles and others) so it caters for all, the cages are spacious and clean, there are cafes, food stalls and restrooms aplenty. I would recommend this especially for children!

5. Snake City
