We spent an entire day in the park and it was absolutely fantastic. If however we'd known there were designated areas to even park and braai we'd have brought our supplies! We did not stay at the park but drove in from Port Elizabeth. We ended off the evening with a meal at the restaurant and that was just as... More

This was a brilliant place. They have lots of different snakes and birds of prey here. We got to hold many of the snakes and lizzards, and to play around with them. What makes this place great is the woman who is guiding people there. She has a very strong base of knowledge about these animals, and it is easy... More

This is a typical raptor and reptile centre, my wife and I had already been to another two that week so most of the information we were given we already knew but the actual demonstrations and snake handling were far superior to elsewhere. More

A fantastic time was had by all getting up close and personal with snakes, reptiles and hawks. A memory the children will never forget and educational as well. Well worth an hour here. More

My wife and I stumbled across this great centre one afternoon. Her love for birds and my interest in reptiles made it a highlight of the trip! Daryl is an amazing guide who is willing to share his extensive knowledge and passion with visitors. If you're lucky, he might just let you hold a snake! A once in a lifetime... More

I had no idea about this place until someone mentioned it whilst we were staying in Addo. Run by a young couple, they look after injured and rescued animals and those coming from animal parks that are closing down. We were the only guests when we visited and so we got a personal tour around, being told all about the... More

We came accross this place quite by accident one morning, and what an amazing morning it was. We were really just filling in time between other things, but this place should be on everyones itinerary. Wonderful stories of animal rescue and an amazing hands on experience. The memories of one to one contact with such amazing creatures will stay with... More
