    Busy but worth it

    A busy place, but a great opportunity to learn about giraffe and get up and personal! I even managed to fed a giraffe from my mouth. You can see these animals are well cared for and this is why I recommend this place.More

    Good but overcrowded

    Lovely to see but better seeing them in the wild. Too many people and hard to get a picture and hard to feed them.More
