Booking2Egypt Tours`s guide will be Pickup you from your Hotel at 10:00 am To Start your half day Tour to Giza Zoo .Giza Zoo overlook to Cairo University; it has five gates on all sides, and was built on 80 acres of land. Inside the Zoo there is over 130 species of mammals, birds and reptiles. Not to mention that most of the greenery in the Zoo is rare plants, and the gorgeous grottoes. Other than playing host to a number of animals, the Zoo also has an animal museum, an animal experimental center and an animal behavioral study institute. Not to mention that the Zoo works on saving endangered animals through breeding then relocating the animals to their original habitat..

Some of the animals you can find there are baboons, chimpanzees, lions, leopards, jackals, kangaroos, sea lions, and bears. Also many breeds of birds can be found like vultures, pelicans, cockatoos, emus, flamingos, and sacred ibises. You can also find reptiles such as crocodiles, alligators, and cobras

In 2010, the Zoo had new arrivals, three orangutans (Teetee, Fatouta, Bangu), Bonnet Macaques, Rhesus Macaque, Pigtail Macaque, and Patas monkey. Also, baby animals were born this year including a beautiful American black bear named Lola.

Theres also the touching story of Muzas survival. She is a beautiful chimp, who arrived to the Zoo in April 2010 exhausted and with several tumors. A team of the Zoo vets took good care of her, and successfully rSawaved the two tumors from her neck and chest

To have a nice day at the Zoo with the animals, you have to come prepared. My first piece of advice is to keep an open mind and stay positive; just like anywhere else in Cairo youre bound to get some “compliments” thrown your way. At least thats how I choose to look at them, so if someone yells at you saying “beautiful”, “sexy” or anything similar try to pay no attention and just take it as a compliment. Second piece of advice would be power in number; almost everything is more fun with other people to enjoy it with you, so make sure when you visit the Giza Zoo theres someone else to walk its long streets with you. In this case, its not just more fun its helpful.

A happy bladder makes for a happy day, the honest truth is the facilities there are not that clean, but dont let that discourage you from enjoying a day at the Zoo. It takes approximately two to three hours to get around the Zoo, just make sure you dont need to use the facilities while you are there.

The best time to visit would be in the early morning between the months of October and January (Never go on a national holiday the number of people there can get overwhelming). Its much less crowded and you can actually enjoy the day without melting from the heat. There are plenty of benches and seating areas around 14:00 Pm Transfer you Back to your Hotel
