National Zoological Gardens of South Africa

The National Zoological Gardens of South Africa is the largest zoo in the country and the only one with national status. More than 600 000 people visit the zoo annually. The 80 hectares accommodate 2 586 specimens. An aquarium and reptile park form part of the zoo. A cableway provides a panoramic view of the gardens and the modern enclosures in which the animals are kept. The walkways cover about six kilometres, but golf carts can be rented.
