Tygerberg Zoo is situated on 24 hectares of land about 40 minutes from Cape Town central and the only zoo in the Cape Town area.
While there are many animal facilities in the Western Cape for monkeys, birds, lions and cheetahs, the Tygerberg Zoo offers a variety of species ranging from reptile to bird, from hornbill to leopard, and marmoset to gorilla.
It is home to lions, tigers, zebra, cheetah and chimpanzees and accommodates 60 mammal species, 160 bird species and 63 reptile species.
The zoo also specialises in the breeding of rare and endangered species so you will have the opportunity to see animals you would seldom see in the wild.
For younger children there is the children’s farmyard and there is a shop where you can purchase refreshments.
How to get there:
From Cape Town take the N1 Highway towards Paarl.
Roughly 40 min drive you take the exit 39 turnoff.
At the T-junc turn left, next you take the first turn to the left, and the Zoo is on your left hand side.
