Situated virtually in Bloemfontein's city center, the Bloemfontein Zoological Gardens cover 15 hectares and offer the visitor a lovely morning or afternoon outing. The zoo contains a variety of animals that include antelope, rhino, lion, hippo, buffalo, cheetah, wild dogs, and more. Additionally there is also a large variety of primates. The zoo is open 365 days a year. Night tours can also be booked at the main entrance ticket office.

Our visit to the Bloemfontein zoo happened in late autumn and most of the big trees still had plenty of leaves on them. The zoo is quite an interesting visit containing a good variety of animals. We even got to pat the Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo! There's plenty of parking available outside the main entrance.
