The wild is not just reserved for Rudyard Kipling characters. Anyone who has the vacation days can move up from Disney cartoons to the real thing! First step: Choose your adventure.
South Africa’s bushveld was a natural choice for me because of my father’s background. (He was born there and did not move to the States until after graduate school.) However, you may want to explore other areas of Africa, like Botswana, Kenya or Zimbabwe.
Keep an eye on the news or use a travel agent to avoid rainy seasons and regional conflict. Once you’ve chosen your region, consider national park requirements. My family didn’t want to deal with a malaria risk, so we chose Madikwe Game Reserve. A malaria shot isn’t necessary, but they still offer the Big Five, or the most dangerous animals to hunt in Africa: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhino.
Second step: Be realistic. The good news: You will not find yourself alone in the bush and face to face with a wild boar unless you’ve done something horribly wrong and possibly illegal. The other news: You will need a guide, and you will need a brick-and-mortar place to stay. Mosquito netting, regardless of whether you get the malaria shot, is necessary, and pitching your own tent and trying this on your own is illegal in many areas. Where it isn’t, you shouldn’t try.
(If they don’t bother passing the law, what makes you think they’ll send out a search team?) Third step: Enjoy! The best tip anyone gave me in searching for wildlife in an expansive reserve? Look for movement, not colors or shapes.
You won’t spot a rhino in the distance or a leopard in the trees above you if you’re not constantly scanning (what looks like) the dead space around you. I promise, it’s actually teeming with life. Not to get philosophical here, but if you can’t afford a safari tomorrow, that rule still applies. Pay attention to your surroundings, or all the great sights, sounds and smells will pass you! – Tara for TKGO.

Well worth a visit animals here that you would never see in a European Zoo although /i understand why. The animals are very cramped together and on a hill also not much room for them to get about. Apparently the Elephant went mental last week and now are closed of to the public what a shame. Would have loved form my chikdren to see white Elephants quite rare noe. But apparntly they have this situation under control and the?Elephants are having a brand new enclosure built for them. Well done Santiago Zoo.
This zoo made me want to cry. The conditions in which the animals were being kept were terrible. The leopard was cut and bleeding in it's cage.
It looked as though it had been declawed and it's teeth had been sanded down, the tigers and elephants looked like they were dying, the polar bear had almost no water to swim in and it's cage looked disgusting. People were able to stick their hand through the bars of the cages and poke the animals. The only animals that looked like they were being taken good care of were the birds. If you like animals. I wouldn't recommend going here. I work at a colegio in Santiago and I took my second grade class to see this zoo on Friday. I cannot stop thinking about the horrible conditions that these animals are kept in.
Yes, they are well fed and I am sure to some people they appear to be fine. However, the fact is there is no way that any animal or living creature living in a cage without any species of it's own to share it's life with could possibly be happy. The polar bear lives completely isolated in a cage that is much to small.
He was lterally reaching through the bars trying to escape when I saw him. He lives alone in a fake environment. It boggles my mind that anybody can consider that acceptable much less humanitarian. It's animal cruelty plain and simple. Additionally, the gorrilla and the hppo live in isolation in little cages. These kind of conditions are completely unacceptable given what we know about animal care and how many resources is available. Quite frankly I don't know how the city of Santiago can allow this zoo to function.
