This is one of the best zoos I have ever been to. You are up close and personal with the animals! The daily rate is only ! We spent 3-4 hours there walking around. Wear a pair of sneakers because there are a lot of exposed roots and unpaved trails.
The lions and tiger were literally 3 arms lengths from you. The male even flipped around and decided to spray (gross) in my direction, however I was able to see what he was about to do and was able to get out of the way, but that is how close they are!
As for some of the other activist reviews, all of the animals had plenty of water. They all looked very healthy and the cats even seemed happy and playful. Some signs of abuse are ears that have edge scarring from constant insects biting, ribs showing, etc... We did not see any of that from these animals.
The staff was very friendly and there is plenty of shade. I would suggest bringing some antibacterial soap as your hands will get dirty.
