Dumitru Mihael Sultan
Great zoo, great experience. We did the safari with our rental car, everything went smooth. We’ve been in last week of October and everything went great. One 6 years old, one 4 years old, one 1 year old. We had everything for everyone. Don’t miss the feedings, they are great for children. Too bad we didn’t saw lions, only lionesses. Rhinos, giraffes and gorillas were very impressive.

I tend to always visit zoos when I travel and I was pleasan...

The best zoo I have ever visited. The place is spacious, there is even the possibility to go on a safari by car or local bus. The animals live in a large area and look very good.

After that, there's a short safari bus ride that kicks off the day just right. Everyone here is incredibly friendl...
