Take the Kids to Tygerberg Zoo

Take your little monkey to see the Chimpanzees and Marmosets at Tygerberg Zoo. The only Zoo in the Western Cape this outdoor wildlife education is set on 24 Hectares of rural land will plenty of trees to swing from. Games of 'I spy with my little eye something beginning with A' take on a new dimension with the presence of Armadillos and Anteaters.

Those wanting a cuddly animal encounter can pet and play with barnyard friends at the Children's Farmyard while the Zoologists of the future can pace up and down outside the bars of the Bengal Tiger's enclosure studying the nature of this elusive beast with detail closer than Animal Planet can deliver.

The Cape's coastal route possibly attracted Noah to deliver the fantastic array of animal life including 160 bird species, 63 reptile examples and 61 specimen of mammal from his Arc. Springbucks represent indigenous hoofs, while kids mimic their jumps.

Little girls have hopping competitions with fluffy Hares while flopping their hands as bunny ears. Brave boys roar back playfully at Lions. Kiddies learning how to count , practice by counting the black and white stripes on Zebra. American Grizzlies dominate stuffed teddy toys for attention. Energetic toddlers run with the speed of a cheetah for an ice-cream from the shop. A breeding ground for endangered animals this is a wonderful wildlife experience for the whole family.
