Zoo in Tunis
Going on a beach vacation, every traveler strives to diversify his vacation, especially if it is planned with the participation of children. The best option to entertain the younger members of the family is useful and informative - to go all together to the zoo. In Tunisia, such an object is located in the suburb of Hammamet and, despite its modest size, is very popular not only among children, but also among their parents..
Friguia Animal Park
About fifty species of animals are represented in the spacious enclosures of the Phrygia Zoo. Its name is strongly associated with all those who have been there with comfortable conditions for observing the guests of the park, interesting shows and a warm attitude of the administration..
Pride and achievement
In the park, you can admire many representatives of the African fauna in almost natural habitat. In comfortable enclosures, predatory tigers and huge elephants live, long-necked giraffes coexist with funny ostriches, and graceful swans - with pink flamingos. Fussy monkeys scamper noisily along the branches of trees, and the lion king of beasts condescendingly watches them from the height of his position.
The special pride of the Tunis Zoo is the show with the participation of fur seals and dolphins. You can swim and take pictures with the pupils of the animal trainers performing the most difficult tricks. Zoo visitors also love to watch the Zulu dance performance, which vividly and colorfully demonstrates the cultural life of African aborigines..
