Enjoy the thrill of seeing anacondas, black mambas and cobras up close, as well as crocodiles and even a giant bullfrog. Each species is listed with fascinating facts about its habitat, distribution and preferred prey. Remember that all snakes would much rather get out of your way than confront you.

Visit our pack of endangered African wild dog and enjoy the sight of an animal that very few people get to see in the wild.

Take a gentle stroll along the walkway – some of our birds, such as the trumpeter swans, are very chatty and love to greet visitors!
