World of Birds

Why it’s worth it

Across about four hectares you walk straight into landscaped aviaries holding roughly 400 species, rather than peering through wire. The Monkey Jungle has 38 New World monkeys that are quick and mischievous, so zip your bags. The ground hornbills have a walk-through enclosure with direct contact, and the place also works as a hospital, orphanage and breeding centre for threatened species.
