It was the first time we visited the Pta Zoo. Gosh, horrible part of town! And the parking wasn't very nice either, R20 for a dirt road parking full of hawkers bugging us, and having to cross a super busy road to get to the zoo.
The zoo itself is huge! Well-kept - but can see it's seen better days. The animals all looked fine, and most of them had nice big enclosures.
We spent over 3 hours walking around - great calorie-burn, hehe! Gosh, what a big selection of animals, let me try and remember what we saw:
Flamingos, variety of buck, variety of birds, leopard, monkeys, hyenas, gorilla, bear, tigers, lions, forest giraffe, elephants, zebras, hippo, rhino, camel, seals, koala bears, kangaroos, penguins, fish in the aquarium, alligator, dassies, porcupine, lemurs, buffalo and owls.
Really a great day out!
I absolutely love going to the zoo!! Looks like you had a fab day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tandi, it really was such an awesome day out. The zoo is so fab for the whole family! ;-)

Absolutely adore that picture of the lion, you captured how majestic he is :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a stunning zoo outing - did you end up doing the cable car down from the lions? xx
Thanks Debs! Also happy with how the piccies came out, had fun with my camera there, even tho it's such a big thing to schlep around!
DeleteNo, we didn't do the cable car - we had the pram there, and didn't want to split up. Will do the Harties cablecars someday soon, hopefully. ;-)

Stunning, wish we had a zoo. We've just got game farms, which isn't quite the same thing. Got to go to a few places to see "zoo animals"
ReplyDeleteI bet Mia Mooi loved it.
Stunning tiger, boootiful
Hopefully you guys can visit a zoo with Liam one day, to see so many animals in one place!
DeleteAlso really loved the tiger.
