南非2008-约翰内斯堡动物园

We drove to the Joburg Zoo today. I had VERY low expectations for a couple of reasons, most of which were not rational in retrospect. My mom was a zookeeper at the Washington Park Zoo for years, working with elephants and birds of prey. We are members to the zoo and we go all the time. We also visit zoos when we go to other cities.

今天我们开车去了约堡动物园。 由于两个原因，我的期望值非常低，但大多数原因在回顾时都不合理。 我妈妈是华盛顿公园动物园的动物园管理员多年，与大象和猛禽一起工作。 我们是动物园的成员，我们一直都在走。 当我们去其他城市时，我们也会参观动物园。

We've also been to Chipangali in Zimbabwe and it was really run down. One of the mistakes I've made on this trip is assuming that things in Zim relate in any way to things in South Africa. Zim as I know it is gone, and South Africa is more developed every time I visit. I won't underestimate this country again.

我们也去过津巴布韦的奇潘加利，但确实没钱了。 我在这次旅行中犯的错误之一是假设Zim中的事物与南非中的事物有任何关系。 据我所知，Zim已经一去不复返了，每次访问南非都更加发达。 我不会再小看这个国家了。

This is a REALLY cool zoo. I'd say even the best zoo I've ever visited, including the San Diego zoo. It's massive beyond reason for a city zoo. You can even rent a little cart and drive around as walking will take all day. We spent 5 hours there and didn't scratch the surface. The size of the fences are really small, which is a treat as you can get REALLY close to the animals. We were all of ten feet from a giraffe.

这是一个非常酷的动物园。 我想说的是，我曾经参观过的最好的动物园，包括圣地亚哥动物园。 对于城市动物园来说，这是无可厚非的。 您甚至可以租一辆小推车，然后开车四处逛逛，因为步行将需要一整天。 我们在那里呆了5个小时，没有刮擦表面。 栅栏的尺寸真的很小，这是一种享受，因为您可以真正靠近动物。 我们距离长颈鹿十英尺。

 

I'd really recommend you not miss it if you are in Joburg.

如果您在约堡，我真的建议您不要错过。
