概要
クイックファクト: スイス人の生態学者ルネ・ハラーは、不毛の石灰岩の採石場を、何百頭ものキリン、カバ、レイヨウ、鳥たちが暮らす森へと甦らせました。そこで出会えるのが、孤児のカバ、オーウェンとの不思議な友情で有名な、130歳を超えるセーシェルゾウガメのムジーです。
見どころ: The star of the park remains Owen, the little orphaned hippo taken in after the 2004 tsunami, who chose as his best friend Mzee, a giant tortoise weighing 220 kilos. The two companions swim, eat, and sleep side by side, a tender and surreal scene to observe from the 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.
