Meet the zoo’s celebrities then rough it out in their backyard.
Glamping in the Wild
If you didn’t have a bad start like we did, the first activity on the program is to feed the zoo’s five Asian elephants and chat with their carers to get to know each of their quirky personalities. Sadly, we were reminded that the baby will be leaving this year for China when he turns 2 in August. A grand send-off party is currently in the planning works, according to zoo keepers.While the tanks around River Wonders seem like it’s built to last forever, the exhibits are actually not permanent. The team changes up the enclosures and houses a variety of animals from time to time.
What does it take to run an animal kingdom? The same as humans apparently — plenty of nutritional food and TLC. Then we moved on to the Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre where the animals get their check-ups, vaccinations, dental treatments, etc. Inside is a surgery and an x-ray room that did not look too different from the ones meant for humans except the x-rays were much cooler to look at.A highlight of the program is seeing the adorable Californian Sea Lion Pedro work his magic at the Splash Safari show.
If you’re lucky, you can also spot native wildlife like Spotted Wood Owls or Sunda Colugos that hang around the park.It’s finally time to wind down. Just further up is the camping site that has four tents propped pretty close to one another. Each sleeps up to four people in two double beds and has two camping chairs, a portable air conditioner , a standing fan, and a shelf.
