::Though the place shows signs of neglect and some places look a bit run down, it is part of the must go places while you are in Bujumbura, Burundi. Animals in the place include a leopard, chimps, 2 species of Crocs, several snake species (python, spitting cobra, Gabon viper, mamba just to name a few), an antelope and a few bird species. The staff are very helpful and more than willing to go out of their way to give you more background on most of the animals and stuff in there. Some staff are conversant in Swahili and French and of course the local dialect Kirundi. Though you would be out of luck if English is your only language. For a small fee you get to see the Crocs feeding and also get to touch and hold some of the snakes. The python was a big treat for me! The place is easily accessible from town either on foot(about 20 minutes walk) or by car (5 mins drive). It's proximity to lake Tanganyika is also a plus as you can enjoy the spectacular views and if in luck, you'll get to see a few hippos basking in the shores of the lake.
