Description

Visit the Johannesburg Zoo, one of the most popular local and tourist attractions in the leafy northern suburb of Johannesburg. Explore the zoo's 55 hectares of land, which is home to over 320 species of animals, totaling about 2,000 animals. Founded in 1904, the zoo was established when land was donated to the public for recreational use by the firm of the late Hermann Ekstein. The zoo is open to the public 364 days a year, including Christmas, New Year's, and Easter holidays. With international accreditation, the zoo maintains a high standard of animal welfare, nutrition, and ethical conduct to ensure the physical and psychological well-being of all its animals. The zoo has many fun offers to visitors such as various night and day tours, school holiday programs, venue hire, and regular events for the public.
