What a fun outing with the family. The zoo was clean, and the animals were healthy and well fed. My 1 year old really enjoyed it so much 🤗

Still a great family place to visit. Weve been visiting a couple of times a year, since Covid, with our Grandson, now 5, but I can't find my previous review to update, so am redoing it here. For a start there is ample, paid for, covered parking. Even on a public holiday when the zoo was exceptionally busy we had no problems finding a space. There is sometimes a short wait to pay at the entrance, but not a big deal even on a public holiday, around 10 minutes. (we last went on women's day 24) We were happy that the zoo is still maintained to a very high standard. The walkways are free of rubbish and the animal runs and enclosures are clean. All the animals appeared content, well nourished and healthy, if that's possible when not in their natural environment. This zoo is every bit as good as any major city zoo, with decent sized areas for all the large animals. Zoo keepers are constantly in evidence and at work with their charges. There are now several food and drink stalls dotted around the zoo as well as an open-air restaurant, so hungry children are well catered for. (The peacocks also beg for scraps) Small and large golf carts are available for hire at a fair, hourly rate. These are great to visit the extremities of the zoo where there are many birds and animals you may otherwise overlook. Our Grandson loves the golf cart ride, but was happy to walk around 4km this trip which is a typical distance to see much of the zoo. Golf carts get sold out quickly on a busy day but are usually available midweek. Rather than talking about the individual animals, I've included a few photos below (the Tigers posed nicely for me :)) you can see how dry and dusty everywhere is, at the end of a long dry Gauteng winter. It will all turn green soon, after the first rains! We love the Jo'burg zoo and will definitely be back!

I enjoyed a morning at the zoo because Truth be told Johannesburg, in the city proper, is not a city for tourism. I liked the fact that it is possible to see some animals that are extremely hard to catch a look in the wild! The zoo itself is very big & nicely maintained.

Calm relaxing atmosphere Lots and lots to learn about when it comes to fauna. No tour guides, it's self escorting and self tutoring. Several species of birds, reptiles. Unfortunately, there are no more Gorillas and some animals. I couldn't see other animals maybe because they were napping in hidden coves 🤷🏾♂️, like the hyenas and camels. The tiger cages are the most unaccessible. No vantage points to see them. The enclosure is just impossible to view them which is a sad, upsetting feeling. The space around is great though. It's clean and well maintained. Parking is paid. Entrance is paid. Food trucks across the perimeter. Toilet available across the perimeter. Golf carts to tour around are available if you can afford them.

Nice zoo. It's a bit spread out, with few exhibits, but the ones they have are nice. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, tiger, black rhino, crocodiles, cougars, owls, elephants, hippo, antelopes, wild dogs, giraffes. They need to have a better map or signage, as we got a little lost. It needs some maintenance. I hope they get thousands of visitors and can make it all it can be. I recommend you visit if you have about 2.5 hours to spare some day. It was quiet on the weekday afternoon we went.
