Good day, dear readers of this review!
Pros
Suitable for children. Lots of animals, all in excellent condition — well-groomed, well-fed, lazy. You don’t need to take a tour, you can go on your own. Well-maintained, large area!
Cons
Towards evening, the number of visitors increases! Ice cream turned out to cost 50 dirhams! You don’t feel like walking around the zoo in the heat, and in the evening after queuing, you’re unlikely to have any energy left!
Overall impression
It is worth coming in the morning from 9 to 11 a.m., when there are significantly fewer visitors! It is better to choose the Safari journey excursion package, without it everything will be dull and uninteresting! The 35-minute drive through the blocks (animal habitats) is really interesting! A shuttle bus takes you to the tour bus stop, and you can get off at several other stops to admire the animals and then get back on the next bus! The hippopotamus pool is quite modest and not very impressive! The giraffe feeding ‘show’ takes place on a schedule and consistently attracts a queue of people wanting to touch the saliva from their long necks. An excellent modern zoo! Be sure to visit the Grand Aviary in African Village – an unforgettable experience. At Kid’s Farm in the Aviary, you can feed the parrots seeds, and they will sit on your hands – great photo opportunities. It is advisable to get a ticket with the ‘Safari Journey (35-minute guided bus tour)’ – without it, the safari experience will not be as complete. I liked the bird enclosure. Take some cucumbers and seeds and you’ll have the opportunity to take a photo with a colourful parrot on your hand or shoulder.
Tickets: adults – $30, children – $20. Don’t buy them through a guide!!! We got them at the ticket office for $20 less.
I definitely recommend visiting, especially if you are travelling with children. Lots of positive impressions and emotions.
