Insider tips

Wear high-factor waterproof sunscreen and UV-protective clothing due to the intense tropical sun in the Nilo region.

Bring specialized footwear for the aquatic areas as concrete surfaces can become very hot.

Visit the conservation and zoo sections early in the morning to observe the animals when they are most active and temperatures are lower.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to feed animals in the conservation area, as this disrupts their rehabilitation and dietary management.

Good to know

Generally closed on certain weekdays during the low season; check the official calendar for specific maintenance dates or public holiday shifts.

Etiquette

Proper swimwear is required in all pools; street clothes are prohibited in the water. Respect all signage and barriers in the biological and wildlife conservation areas.
