What to expect

You'll meet your guide and keepers at the start, then head into areas of the zoo not open to casual visitors. The night quarters reveal how giraffes are cared for outside visiting hours. From there, you'll walk through the Savannah where you can observe the animals in their larger habitat while your guide shares insights into their behaviour and needs. It's a smaller group experience focused on genuine interaction with staff rather than rushed sightseeing.
