We booked the slightly more expensive private tour and had an amazing time. My wife didn't want to come so I just took me and my 2 boys (5 and 8 at the time). The guide started off with showing us some very venomous snakes and explaining how the venom of different snakes worked. He was clearly passionate about reptiles and snakes and loved his job. He had time for all our questions and really made the experience great. We then moved on to lizards where we spent a lot of time stroking an iguana, several other lizards, and even feeding a chameleon by holding food in our mouths! Then it was time to hold a huge python, it weighed more than we could hold. Then a tour round some other sections including snapping turtles and crocodiles. Finally the guide fed a venomous snake a mouse and we watched it eat the mouse. The guide was so kind to me and my kids, we all came away with a much greater love and appreciation of reptiles. In all we were there probably 2.5 hours.

Loved the two hour tour, the vultures flying in was awesome but thoroughly enjoyed every moment, from start to finish. We were welcomed and felt totally at ease. The curio shop was lovely, Jassie our tour guide was excellent and passionate and explained every thing to us. Truly an experience I will put in my happy memory box
