Adventure Awaits: Themed Zones And Activities

Rainforest Wild Adventure is about 20 hectares of pure excitement – a unique combination of wildlife explorations and thrilling Adventure+ activities. The park consists of two zones:

• East Zone (7 hectares). Transports visitors to the Afro-tropics and Madagascar. It has lush habitats – home to fascinating species such as lemurs, okapis, and pygmy hippos. Visit unique wildlife encounters. Take scenic walks through vibrant landscapes.
