We booked the slightly more expensive private tour and had an amazing time. My wife didn't want to come so I just took me and my 2 boys (5 and 8 at the time). The guide started off with showing us some very venomous snakes and explaining how the venom of different snakes worked. He was clearly passionate about reptiles and snakes and loved his job. He had time for all our questions and really made the experience great. We then moved on to lizards where we spent a lot of time stroking an iguana, several other lizards, and even feeding a chameleon by holding food in our mouths! Then it was time to hold a huge python, it weighed more than we could hold. Then a tour round some other sections including snapping turtles and crocodiles. Finally the guide fed a venomous snake a mouse and we watched it eat the mouse. The guide was so kind to me and my kids, we all came away with a much greater love and appreciation of reptiles. In all we were there probably 2.5 hours.

Jessica is a must if you are in the area. Where in the world do you get the chance to feed and give a bottle of tea to a fully grown hippo, and for just R100. This is an amazing experience that you really need to visit. Jessica has every opportunity to go off to the wild hippos, it is her choice to stay around humans. She is a wild animal and safety precautions are followed. Still allowing you to get close enough to touch this lovely animal, feed her corn and give her a bottle of tea. She was easy to find when on the R527 towards Hoedspruit turn left towards Essex and you will see signs for Jessica, follow the road and you will find her on the right hand side.

It was a pleasure visiting this zoo. A lot of zoos in South Africa are not up to standard, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well kept the grounds were and the cleanliness of the cages. The animals also seemed well fed and in a good condition. This was time worth spending. We also ate at the fast food restaurant and the food was really nice and service was fast.

I forgot the name of the tour guide. He was absolutely great. The children left having learned so much, including us the parents. He was patient, and definitely trained in customer care. It was a wonderful experience to learn about the life cycle of crocodiles. Watching them being fed, was as much exciting. It was wonderful to be allowed to have brunch at the facility. I will definitely take my friends for a tour.
