Think elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs for the former and Jaguars, tropical birds, tapirs, monkeys and otters for the latter.

Head over to the Stingray Bay to be surprised by the surprisingly silky feel of these winged birds of the sea, or the Land of the Tiger, where three Malayan and two Sumatran tigers that are free to roam around an ingenious trail system such that they can be seen from almost anywhere around this 2.5 acre enclosure, ensuring that both you and the tigers are happy. The enchanting butterfly garden is occupied with everybody's favourite creepy crawlies, including the Monarchs, Zebra long wings, White Peacocks and Buckeyes, each with a uniquely exquisite wing pattern that makes them instantly recognisable.
