Johannesburg Zoo

The Johannesburg Zoo, located in the heart of South Africa’s largest city, offers a comprehensive look at the country’s diverse wildlife without the need to venture into distant game reserves. Spanning 136 acres (55 hectares), the zoo provides spacious and thoughtfully designed habitats for over 320 species. These enclosures are crafted to ensure the physical and psychological well-being of the animals, allowing visitors to observe them in environments that closely mimic their natural settings. Today, guests can explore a wide array of wildlife, from big cats and primates to birds and reptiles, all within the expansive and verdant grounds of the zoo.
