Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: René Haller, un ecologista svizzero, ha fatto rinascere questa cava di calcare sterile trasformandola in una foresta popolata da centinaia di giraffe, ippopotami, antilopi e uccelli. Qui si incontra Mzee, una tartaruga gigante delle Seychelles di oltre 130 anni, celebre per la sua amicizia improbabile con Owen, un ippopotamo orfano.
Punti salienti: La star del parco resta Owen, il piccolo ippopotamo orfano accolto dopo lo tsunami del 2004, che ha scelto come migliore amica Mzee, una tartaruga gigante di 220 chili. I due compagni nuotano, mangiano e dormono fianco a fianco, una scena tenera e surreale da osservare dai sentieri.
Consigli da insider
- Wear closed shoes and sunscreen, the walk takes place outdoors along two kilometers of trails.
- Settle in near the crocodile pit around 4 p.m., the meal thrown by the keepers attracts the largest specimens.
- Bring binoculars to spot from the platform the more than 180 bird species that nest in the canopy.
- Arrive before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. to enjoy soft light and avoid noisy school groups.
