Spent two absolutely amazing days at this fabulous zoo. On the first day I joined in the Zooventure tour and had an absolute ball. I got to feed the European brown bear, Sumatran tiger, cougar, giraffe, common eland, white lion and oriental small clawed otters, while also getting the chance to get up close with and pat the dingo, and even have a boa constrictor hang around the back of my neck and over my shoulders and arms. On the second day I participated in the "Meet a cheetah" experience, whoa! what a mind blowing experience that was. Kneeling beside a fully grown cheetah, and patting it from it's head down along its back, while hearing that loud purr.....UNBELIEVABLE!!! Also having a cheetah lick my hand, and feeling its soft, beautiful coat between my fingers, was an experience I don't think I'll ever forget, let alone be able to top. If you get the opportunity to go to this zoo and participate in one of the experiences, you'll be grinning from ear to ear.
