Aldabra Tortoise

Tommy

Tommy the Aldabra tortoise is considered by many to be a celebrity of our park. He is thought to be around 150 years old (however we need to have his age verified) and weights around 150 kilograms.  Many people remember him from their childhood visits to the park and are always happy to see him strong and well. Tommy loves lettuce, apples, and cabbage, as well as bathing in his very own pool which has been built on our lawn.

OUR SERVICES

Grey Wolves 

Vulcan, Cupid, Silva, Daya, Luna & Aura

Our wolf pack is run by Alpha male Vulcan and Alpha female Silva. These affectionate little wolves love to see everyone visiting the park!

They demonstrate to our visitors the strong social structure this species is known for. Grey wolves are highly intelligent and communicate through body language, scent marking and vocalisations like howling. As a group, they show natural pack behaviours, from coordinated movement to social bonding, giving visitors a glimpse into pack life.

Dromedary Camel

Bonnie Face

Bonnie Face is our resident dromedary camel. He travelled up to us from South Africa in 2018. He is a friendly boy who loves his food. His favourite snack is leaves from the game park. He is very vocal; you may hear him gurgling and grumbling as you walk past the enclosure.

Spotted Hyena

Hunter, Ed, Shenzi & Bere

Our elusive spotted Hyena came to us from South Africa as part of a project to educate more people on the importance of the Hyena species.

Our younger Hyena Bere is far chattier and you can often see and hear her hooping and hollering on your visit.

Ostrich

Jack Sparrow & Elizabeth Swan 

Our two ostriches were rescued from Matabeleland where leopard had decimated their flock. We are hoping they will breed at the park and their offspring will be released into game parks and reserves. Jack's favourite thing is to show off his beautiful big black feathers to guests who walk up to the enclosure.

Elizabeth is a much quieter and calmer bird than her partner and will rarely be found prancing around showing off. She enjoys eating out of guest's hands and adores fresh lettuce and game cubes.

Recently joined by two other females, we now have ourselves a proper little flock of Ostrich!

Crocodiles

Happy, Snappy, Makiwa, Prado & Poncho

Our crocodiles, are firm favourites with our visitors. Seeing these beautiful reptiles up close, but through the safety of the fence is a very special experience. They are just about always found lying in the warm sunshine during the day, although they also enjoy soaking in their pond when it gets very hot.

Bush Pigs

Freddie & Frank

This hardy African species is mostly nocturnal and known for its strong build and distinctive facial markings. Frank and Freddie are very curious so are a favourite stop for visitors along the enclosure tour. 

Bush pigs are excellent foragers, using their snouts to dig for roots, bulbs and other food. 

Side-Striped Jackal

Jasmine

Calm and observant, she spends most of her time resting and quietly watching her surroundings. Her gentle nature and age make her a special part of the park's story, giving visitors a chance to see a more relaxed and often overlooked species up close.

Resident Baboons & Vervet Monkey's

We have a wild troop of baboons in the park that can sometimes be seen up in the granite rocks of the game park. The troop are very "streetwise" and don't come too close to the kiosk (there are some who are brave and will enter the kiosk area).

The cheeky vervet monkeys can be seen all around the kiosk area. They are up their monkey business and very busy you won't miss them while walking around the enclosures or while sitting at the kiosk. 

Please remember - do not feed the wild animals!
