The staff don't force the animals to come out forcefully. They really care for their animals. Get a chance to feed Crocodiles and other animals too. Pack some snacks in a basket and relax in the lush green gardens or wander up the hill. You can benefit from a day-walk trough the Zoo, but also a night -walk if you choose so.
