Damn... Six hundred!? Why's it so low?

How do they take care of those animals on such meagre admission fees.

Healthy menagerie they've got there though.
Its less than 600 in the Jos wildlife park. You can even bargain for a discount if you are more than 3

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted tourism negatively. But kofer gamji Is Open! To Visit Despite Covid 19 Restrictions.

The peak is open for tourism/Visit, but visitors must wear mask ,use hand sanitizer and practice social distancing.

Activities: Swimming, horse-riding, Zoo etc

Gate fee is N600 per person

Travel time: Approx 30 mins drive from stadium round about Kaduna to kofer Gamji pack


Kofar Gamji also known as Hassan Usman Katsina Park, is the first amusement park built in the heart of the Kaduna metropolis close to Shooting Range New Extension next to the Kaduna Police College and it is the most visited recreation center during celebrations such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Sallah and New Year. The premises which started off as a garden during colonial rule and northern administrations, it has beautiful greenery with several trees, a small mangrove, orchards and small islands with majestic water flowing from the River Kaduna. The park is divided into two by the river with a foot bridge built by Lord Frederick Lugard connecting them together. Until the bridge was constructed there was no way of linking both halves except by canoe.

Kofar Gamji park is a great relaxation zone with , a mini zoo housing animals such as a lion, hyena’s,monkeys, ostriches,tortoise, a children’s playground that is managed by a private company.

In this video I saw the lion that killed one of their care giver and injured my tour guy

When are you sharing for Yankari Games Reserve?

I hate seeing animals in cages.

I visited Yankari many years ago before digital cameras became commonplace.

Good memories....

nice OP!

Did the tour guide explaind how it killed the guy? I thought lions ought to be in the cage,do the attendants enter the cage?

Am confused.

Animals should never be kept in zoo's behind cages. It is mental torture to live their whole lives behind cages when they are created to roam free.

How do they break even with such low gate pass fees?

How do they stay afloat? It's mind-bogglin at best.

Those are ridiculously low prices for such an experience.
