One of the highlights of our trip in Krabi was visiting the Elephant Sanctuary. We decided to visit Ao Nang Elephant Sanctuary, and we had an incredible experience there. From the moment we arrived, the staff warmly welcomed us and provided informative insights into their elephant conservation efforts. We felt a genuine sense of care and dedication towards the elephants, witnessing their well-being as the top priority. The activity started with feeding them their favourite foods, such as bananas and sugar cane. We learned to make a healthy food supplement and then gave them a refreshing mud bath in the river. It was absolutely the best experience to be able to interact and get close to the elephants. We enjoyed playing with those beautiful creatures; they were super gentle and even let us touch and hug them. It was undoubtedly an unforgettable memory that was worth every penny. Whether on a solo trip, a romantic getaway, or a family trip, I highly recommend this activity to anyone travelling to Krabi. #elephantsanctuary #krabiadventures #animallover #krabi #Thailand #mytravelhacks#localguides

It was a nice experience to drive into this area from the town. The farms is situated within the compound of State Veterinary. The place is green and serene. RM 10 fees for adult. 👀 We spent almost 2 hours here. We fed the goats and ostriches, we stand on the ostrich eggs to experience the strength of the egg ourself. The farm offers an interactive experience as we are allowed to feed the ostrich and ride on them. Certificate is provided once ride is completed. 🥰 The tour guide was very patient and kind, he shared really quite a lot of knowledge bout the animals. Highly recommended 👍🏻✨ #2023travelwish #awesomepic #mytripvlog #best_trip_by_trip #animalsfarm #animallover #animalphotography

Interesting mini petting zoo. It was bigger than expected and had all sorts of animals but mainly a lot of birds, plus the staff were generally really friendly with us, they offered us food to feed some of the animals like monkeys, rabbits and birds without us asking, and with no extra fees, usually in the bigger zoos, they may charge a fee for feeding each animal but at here they doesn't charge anything. 👍🏻 It was nice to be able to have such close-up encounters with the animals in the heart of a bustling city. And I think it's fair that they allow interactions with the domesticated animals. I also appreciated the educational signages put up throughout the space. 👀 Overall, I am satisfy for this mini zoo!! <3 #meetkualalumpur #awesomepic #mytripvlog #minizoo #animallover #animalpark #best_trip_by_trip #bestview #lovelife

Paradise Country is a mini zoo which is located in Production Drive, Oxenford Gold Coast which is only 40mins away from brisbane and 15mins from surfers paradise. This mini zoo is one of the few zoos which allows you to interact with the farm animals for free, this means you are able to feed them, experiencing in squeezing of milk, and even touch and feel koalas, wallabies and such! There are also several performances to catch where they have a schedule before you enter into paradise Country, for example the sheep Sheering performances or the koala feeding talk where staff will explain to you about the animal and its natural habitats, how they defend themselves and stuff. Paradise Country normally comes with a package that comes with movie world and sea world which I highly recommend rather than just buying 1 ticket alone. The ticket also allows you to go an unlimited number of times within a 14 day period. Do check out in trip.com for deals and packages like this to make your trip more worth it. #passionpassport #goldcoast #zoo #animallover #themepark #australia

#myhiddengems Visiting Camel Park Sunny Beach was one of the highlights of my trip to Bulgaria! 🐪 Located just a short drive from the Sunny Beach resort, this park is a fun and unique way to spend a few hours, especially if you're traveling with kids. The entrance fee is around 12 BGN for adults and a bit less for children, which is quite affordable considering the experience you get. The park is not huge, but it’s well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and informative, ready to share fun facts about the animals. The main attraction, of course, is the camels! 🐫 I got the chance to take a short camel ride, and it was such a fun and different experience. The camels were calm and gentle, making it easy even for first-timers. The park also has other animals like donkeys, ponies, and peacocks, which you can feed and pet – a big hit with the younger visitors. 🦚 There’s also a small playground area and a café where you can relax with a cold drink while watching the camels roam around. After the camel ride, we explored the nearby Sunny Beach area, which is full of activities like beachside bars, water sports, and plenty of shopping opportunities. 🏖️ If you’re looking for a unique experience away from the typical beach scene, Camel Park Sunny Beach is definitely worth a visit. It’s a great mix of fun, relaxation, and a touch of adventure! #trip #CamelParkSunnyBeach #FamilyAdventure #BulgarianBeaches #AnimalLover #SunnyBeachFun

#winhkflight Address: China, Guangdong Province, Shenzhen, Nanshan, 518071 Highlights: Shenzhen Safari Park is a big home for animals! Some of the fantastic animals I have met include pandas and tigers. It was amazing to see them up close! The safari park is so big that I spent an entire day here but still much was not able to cover the entire park. It's a good relaxing place where you can bring your kids & enjoy various shows. Observing these magnificent animals in their natural environment was a humbling experience, leaving a lasting impression. Enjoying this natural wonder, my thoughts drift to Hong Kong, a city pulsating with urban dynamism and cultural richness. #Shenzhen #Safari #animallover

Thailand is home to the magnificent Asian elephant. Unfortunately, many elephants are used for entertainment and labor. Whilst visiting Thailand, Phuket, I learned of a few places considered as sanctuaries for elephants that have been ill treated since birth, and now rescued. Unfortunately, many of these elephants have sustained injuries and conditions which would impact their survival in the wild. These lovely charities rely on donations and visits from the public to help support these animals. Whilst I wish elephants could be allowed to live peacefully in the wild, it was wonderful to meet and feed them up close. A once in a lifetime opportunity. #elephant #sanctuary #animallover #phuket

The zoo is located up on a hill..its a bit of the hike to see the whole zoo! Many animals..though the conditions of the animals could be improved a little. Overall a good zoo,must visit when in wenzhou#animallover

#wecreate #cingjing #taiwan #farm #animallover #tripblazers #sheepfarm #summervacation #nantou Cingjing is located in Taiwan in nantou county where it is situated about 1500metres. This is where even in summer it can get really cooling. But the main attraction here is to head to one of the sheep farm. We went to one of the most popular and biggest sheep farm called the Cingjing Farm located at No. 170, Renhe Rd, Ren’ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan 546 right at the top of the mountains promising you amazing views as well. The sheep farm not only allow you to pet the sheeps but also feed them. They also have sheep shearing and shows 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Of course entrance fee is required and this place is wheelchair friendly, just that you are required to push up a really steep hill as this farm is located at the edge of the hilly mountain of renai, nantou County.

One of the best place for us to petting animal. They have deer, goat, bunny, raccoon etc for us to play with. Harga tiket pon okay je xmahal mana. Kalau xsilap adult dlm rm30 cmtu.. Haiwan2 dibiarkan berkeliaran so korg boleh pegang puas2. Budak2 semestinya sangat enjoy. Xperlu pergi jauh2 untuk petting haiwan. Datang ke Farm In City, Seri Kembangan dah okay😄 #pettingzoofun #farminthecity #familytrip #animallover
