Ever paid to go to a zoo and left feeling frustrated at how you only managed to catch the tail of a leopard or the flash of a monkey in the trees? The Zoological wildlife foundation understands this feeling, and they pride themselves on their tour programme, which guarantees guests leave feeling like their money has been well spent on an educating and fulfilling zoo visit. Dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting the rare and endangered animals that are suffering because of our carelessness, the zoo ensures that it maintains a high quality of service both to the animals and to the guests who take time to come and learn about them. In their 5 acre space, they house a number of threatened species like the snow leopard, three-toed armadillo, two-toed sloth, white bengal tiger, and white african lion, as well as capuchins, burmese pythons, otters and even more uniquely wonderful creatures.

The extra special aspect of the zoo is that the tours mean that guests get to really view the animals as close as 6 feet away in Encounters Amphitheatre during the general tour. If you really want to have an immersive experience, numerous specific tours are available where you can pick your favourite animal and have the chance to get truly up close and personal with them, in photo-taking sessions and even feeding for some of them like the camels, lemurs and toucans. Come on down and support this noble foundation that has provided a warm refuge for animals that have suffered through some horrible conditions, and given them a hope for a better future. At the same time, you get to make all your instagram followers jealous by posting a snapshot of you cuddling up with adorable big cat cubs.
