An amazing outing for the family where you can spend the entire day at the 80 hectare zoo. Highly recommend to take your picnic basket and get there early in the morning to enjoy a full day and embrace yourself with the wild life and the many picnic spots within the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Hiring a golf cart is also recommend but the zoo management does not have an efficient hiring process and putting your name on the waiting list tends to make the zoo visitors very frustrated. Hence this put you in a situation of sometimes waiting up to two hours or even more to hire a golf cart is the zoo is busy more especially on weekends or if you get there around midday. Social distancing among frustrated patrons in the waiting line for the golf cart is a concern. Overall a good family destination for making memories which is recommended.

Quite disappointed by the lack of attraction here. The grounds have so much potential and the natural flora is absolutely stunning but the amount of habitats or enclosures that were empty or closed as just not good enough to pay full price. A lot of the enclosures are under maintained and there were dangerous spiders near and around where children could touch in countless locations. Appreciate that the zoo is open, letting people in and maintaining care of the animals but it was an overall underwhelming experience for something with so much potential. Parking and entrance situation is not ideal. Still got some decent pics and got to see some good stuff.

Beautiful and informative. Great place for family. Picnic spots are impeccable. 4 star rating due to non-working toilets.

Pretoria Zoo has always been the go to place to see proper animals. But I am not sure what is happening as a lot of animals are missing. The main being lion, or at least a lion, it or they were all missing in action. Though it is still a good place to take the kids, the aquarium and reptile sections brought a lot of excitement.

This was the most magical experience in Pretoria for kids and adults alike in our group. The golf carts were a huge hit and it really helped with small kids and the elderly to move around. We never thought we would see an aquarium in Pretoria. Can't wait to return soon. Thank you for an amazing epic day...

Lovely place to visit. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy the fresh air. Animal enclosures need some attention but have much potential. Would have been nice if more hand sanitizers are placed around enclosures.

We had a wonderful day and the kids really enjoyed the variety of animals ALL animals looked cared for and we also witnessed feeding of some. They were definitely not neglected. Yes, some enclosures were empty and overgrown but that is due to Covid and lack of funding The staff was very friendly and working around the zoo, cleaning, upkeep of the garden and repairing.
