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....

"I hate seeing animals in cages."

Same as me. There is nothing like freedom to roam wide unhindered.

Kcitytv, I was in Kaduna for the first time last year April. I visited this park and there was no swimming pool. A construction was ongoing by the gate. The crocodiles at the fountain looked hungry. The Lord Lugard bridge was covered with grass. The whole place looks like it needs a young management that can think out of the box and make it more fun and maintain it.

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.

600 is on the high side. N500 is the average pass in most zoological/wildlife gardens in the country.
If it's a University's zoological garden, it's usually N200. Private ones are usually N500.

this because of the volatility of the state couple with the incessant religious crises. the only place you can find mixed people is barnawa area.

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
