This zoo is situated in the dense rain forest of Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe, just south of Deshaies. It features mostly wildlife of the Caribbean, and provides informative exhibits on both the animal life and the vegetation of the region. There is a rope bridge suspended through the trees over the exhibit cages, only for those who are not bothered by heights. And bouncing bridges. A great family activity.

As a professional in the field I found this small zoo to be well-presented and maintained. We had a 4-hour excursion which was not nearly enough time to see all of the zoo displays due to the 'Walk in the Treetops' being extremely slow and once on it is near impossible to get off. The excursion needs to be 6-hours to see the zoo and take the treetop walk.

We were a big group and had a very great experience at the zoo. It’s a special experience, especially when you come from abroad and are not used to the enormous variety of plants. The zoo is mostly outdoors and makes you walk through the jungle while watching some unique species.

Generally we dont like zoos, however this zoo is specifically for rescued animals that cannot be released back into the wild. The focus here is on the animals which we found refreshing. Easy to walk around and great to see the animals in natural environments. Cafe was closed when we went, so carry water and only do the high walk if you are relatively fit, it wobbles a lot.
