It's a beautiful place with interesting animals. They follow bio-security protocols and the animals seem to be in very good condition. The place is surrounded by nature. The visit can be around 1h30 long. There is much to see.
A great experience to see wild animals. Conditions for the species are regular but I am not an expert to give a bad review on it. Some of the animals are actually rescued from illegal trafficking. More than 50 different animals I saw and that's amazing.
The pandemic has really hit the zoos hard. Less visitors mean less attention and food. This rescue shelter doesn't seem to be acheiving its purpose anymore. The habitats are small and unkempt. It needs a major injection of resources.
Beautiful place with native and rescued species
My brother got bitten by a monkey as one of the tour guides said they were fine, after we were told they were wild monkeys. Thank god he had previously tetanus and rabies shots, but still nasty scar, still healing. They cleaned the wound and apologised but that should never happen in a good administration.
Well, there are lots of animals here you can see. However, many do not have a good amount of space and appear stressed. After much reflection and discussion, I feel like I probably won't ever enter another zoo like this. The entry fee that is paid is what supports the essential torture of some of the animals there. You can see the stressed activities like pacing and lethargy. Yes there are interesting animals there, but ultimately it is too depressing to see and know that I supported that kind of zoo. I don't think anyone should. Do not recommend.
Nice little zoo with monkeys, lions and many others. Entrance cost is 3.5$.
Nice natural environment, great thing that the animals here are rescued from hunters
