If you think you've seen a zoo or been on a safari before. Well for us coming from the UK, this wildlife was exactly as they describe. An Oasis. Absolutely worth a visit and we had an amazing day. Don't leave without watching the 3 live shows. I can't decide which one I enjoyed more. But the bird live was breathtaking, the views from that location was something out of a movie. And of course feeding the giraffes, I'll never forget this experience.

What a fabulous place. All the enclosures were clean and well maintained with space for the animals. The keepers all seemed to care about the animals and really loved them. The best bit for my 3 year old granddaughter was feeding the giraffe. They were amazing. The only thing I would say is don't rent a little trolly to pull your toddler in. It's very hilly and not suited to the little carts that cost 10€ to hire. All in all a fabulous day out .

Really good experience. They take care of the animals and are really very friendly. Beautiful park with lots of kinds of animals as beautiful as each other

Even if the indicated time is at 9, you can present yourself at any time until 14.30. Not long wait, nice experience to be redone

What an experience to have . Definitely worth a try for all the family
