Animal viewing in Cape Town

Animal viewing in Cape Town is a must if you have kids.
Many of the places are within easy driving distance from the city centre.

I've on occasion felt the entrance fees are too steep at some of these places.
But having seen the amount of effort the owners put in, I'm ashamed of myself.

Spoil the kids and support animal care, because this is what it is about!
