The staff is great and friendly, and truly care about the animals. I don't get why some person is complaining about the flow of the oath, seriously it circles the entire zoo, you don't miss a thing. Maybe that person should have a compass to help them navigate. Chahinkapa Zoo is a great treasure for this community. Keep up the good work .
