The environment was clean, and they have some unique animals there. They have a lot of monkeys, birds, and snakes. The Lion, Warthog, Wild Boar, Hyenas, Camel, and Ostrich are very well-fed. There's also a fee of two thousand naira for a tour guide for groups up to 20…

It was a good experience for me and the children. Checking the animals in the zoo and enjoying a few goodies on the way out with the playground for children. It was fun overall.

It was a nice experience. They still have the Male and female Lions there, giraffe and snakes. Though some of the Animals looked weak and hungry and their safety method of feeding them was poor. Overall, i was glad i went.

It was very nice, the environment was calm. The Giraffe is such a cutie, it was so happy to see us. I have beef with the hyena though, it was looking at me funny. Princess, the lioness is a show stopper, she's so pretty. Definitely worth a visit.

This place has always been a fascinating go-to tourist attraction for years. Even though the animal population has significantly declined from the last time I was here, there's still a reasonable amount of animals to see. Gate fee is 1500 per adult and 1000 per child. The tour…
