About
Hitre informacije: You can stroll through roughly 140 hectares of shady parkland where hornbills and macaques share tree-lined avenues with lotus-filled ponds. Guides often point out that the collection spans several hundred species and a few thousand animals, so expect everything from tiny frogs to hefty reptiles.
Vrhunci: Early mornings around 7:00 AM reward visitors with roving peafowl that unfurl iridescent tails along the pathways, their metallic calls echoing between trees. Later, head to the primate area at 10:00 AM for a noisy feeding where orangutans eagerly take papaya slices, leaving sticky orange juice on nearby railings and onlookers' shoes.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and light, breathable clothing; bring sun protection and a refillable water bottle.
- Go early at opening to catch active animals and avoid Jakarta heat and weekend crowds.
- Bring a zoom lens or binoculars for the aviary and primate enclosures, those spots are best for photos.
- Skip peak midday hours when many animals rest, and consider visiting specific sections like the primates and bird house first for better sightings.
