Activities: We visited the zoo in an afternoon and by then we had visited most of the zoo. We saw some of the great African animals such as the elephant, lion, chimpanzee, gorilla, ostrich, zebra, giraffe and several more species of monkeys
Highlights: Our daughter usually still finds the playgrounds the most fun part when we visit a zoo. We found the aquarium at the zoo particularly impressive with lots of different tropical fish you can admire here ✨
