It's that big? I'm gonna get myself a wheelchair, because I can't even tour the Pretoria zoo, without feeling exhausted halfway through. I'm not much of a walker lol.

Hope it's worth the hype. Menlyn Park is all the mall I need

It's HUGE.The thing that annoys me about it is that it stretches horizontally,so you will feel the walk Lol.does PTA zoo have lions.can you believe I have never seen one before?


It is worth the hype TBH,in terms of size at least. I love Menlyn Park too,I buy my clothes there sometimes

Lol, that's unbelievable. You even have a lion petting zoo in Jo'burg, how come?

Sure, I'll give mall of Africa a try. It sounds like a lot, but I'm sure I'll manage.

Pretoria zoo has everything All the animals & creepy crawlies you can think of. I enjoy the cable cars the most because I'm lazy to walk up to the higher sections of the zoo

Lol the thought of going to the zoo never really crossed my mind,It's embarrassing actually.Imagine some Americans have seen a lion before an African


yeah plus YOU need that walk,get rid of the fats.


There's even a cable car .This looks like a fun place,like a little Disney Land.how much does it cost?

You should hang your head in shame for not coming to meet the king of the jungle much sooner
Well, it's been a couple of years since I've been there. The last time I believe it was around R65 for a ticket. I'm sure it's much higher now, depending on when you go. They raise the amount on "busy days", like on public holidays & the festive season. It gets packed. They even run out of golf carts, hence I don't go there much. My obese self can't deal with the walking
Lol @ get rid of fats. That hurts I'm gonna do it on my watch

Well, you should go. You'd learn a thing or two. I actually wanna come over there to the petting zoo. I love cubs lol. I wanna touch one.

Well it's not too late i'll see him soon.Alright it's cheap,I always imagined it would be something above R150.So those who want to roam the entire zoo will have to cough up some more Mandelas?.Oh baby I didn't mean for it to come out like that


Yeah plus it looks like it could be nice for family outing.The cubs look cute and innocent until they grow to become vicious beasts lol

Lol, not necessarily. Some people do roam the entire zoo without spending a dime more. Our fitness levels are not the same Those who are lazy to walk, go for the carts or the cable cars- extra bucks to cough up.

Now the tickets I'm sure they are around that region lol. Everything is expensive there, from the artwork that is being sold outside to a can of coke! I couldn't believe that they expected people to pay R15 for a can, years ago. One lady told me that they do something similar in Moria, a loaf of bread goes for R25 & it's not even Albany lol.

Cubs are adorable! Awww. The essence of a petting zoo though is to turn them into pussies They get used to people, thus not seeing them as food. I still wouldn't wanna pat an adult lion though. You'd never know when your luck has run out. Only cubs for me

Okay that's fair.Damn are you really that lazy to walk? It seems like you get tired even at the thought of it .mmm I'll take the cable car anyday,ain't nothing like staring at the world around with a bird's eye view.


lol they should be.when was the last time you visited? . That's why I always carry my backpack with my own food and drinks whenever going to places like that,I hate paying extra for things I normally pay lower price for..HELL NO lol .HAHA that's Mr Lekganyane for you.I also hear they sell fatcakes the size of a soccer ball

Especially the white ones.were they also pussies when they our ancestors used to live side by side with them? The only wild animal I see myself petting is Polar Bear,that thing is just too beautiful to be living by itself

I got really bad ankles. It's really not about being lazy, but the pain that follows afterwards . Plus I'm not used to walking Even at home, I take breaks between chores because my feet start to hurt when I'm up longer than necessary. They're extremely sensitive & soft

It's really shocking that things are so expensive, but they know people have no other choice, they will buy.

Bears are scary lol. I don't fùck with them & crocodiles. At the zoo I don't even go anywhere near their enclosures. It's been 4 years, I think. No sure.

South Africa is 100% better than Nigeria no doubt... wish they have all the resources Nigeria currently possess, they'd be like Germany by now.

It's shocking indeed but what can we do,they run a business after all

It looks scary, yes lol. It's bigger than most humans, that's more reason to feel uncomfortable. I'd never put my guard down around a wild animal no matter how cute & unassuming they look because next thing you know, half your face will be gone. Bears are omnivorous, I believe. But they feed mostly on meat to get the proper fat their bodies need to get warm. Meat, Jace, meat!!!!! You'll be a source of protein I've seen them tear seals into shreds lol.

But humans are scary too.Trust me,I'm more likely to run towards a polar bear before I run towards a human if I found the two in the middle of Jozi at night
