This is not a zoo but a free roaming animal sanctuary born out of the idea to conserve a big old vast former cement quarry. There are lots of animals to see and depending on your excitement this will last between 2 and three hours from where you will dropped back to your hotel.
Small group tour, drive through city centre on to visit the woodcarving co-op, the carvers still using primitive tools to create some _br/_ beautiful pieces - lovely bowls, animals .... went on to visit the Fort Jesus, before a walk through Old Town, quite an experience_br/_ through narrow streets, past open smelly fish markets escaping for a cool drink on a terrace by the water front._br/_ Drive to Haller Nature Park - remarkable to see Giant Tortoises, Crocodiles, Giraffes close up to feed them, and of course the _br/_ friendly monkeys. Ennjoyable and informative tour with our guide George
