Zoo Hannover: Best Zoo of Europe

    Enjoy it !

    Although it's a little expensive, the zoo is a must. If you go there you need time. Normally you can't see everything in one day.

    My tip is: take a trip with the boat, you have a better view on many animals there and it is better for your feet.

    The picture you see is also made on the boat trip.

    Our Zoo is one of the best in whole Europe. The animals have a lot of space. Their enclosures remind of their normal surroundings: one big place looks like an African savanne (it is called "Sambesi-River") and another like an old palace in India.

    2003 there were a lot of births in the Zoo: two small elefants, a giraffe-baby and some other little animals were born.

    As I'm always focused on apes.. you might think that there isn't anything else to see.

    Well the savanna is really cool , the hippos live in a sort of hippoparadiseriver where you can have a boatrip. Wombats - not a really common zooguest.

    And last but not least , they build a tipical german farm where you can eat. The giant piece of meat with some fine cooke vegetable and five fries as its supposed to be here. I remember the icecream was really good. It had a full real vanilla taste with a bunch of hot crickets on it. olé

    Since they seem to have a lot of money in Germany and there was an Expo the zoo had a real facelift. Buildings where knocked down , improvement here and there and they made a really great effort to make this zoo as visitorsfriendly as possible.

    So this is a modern zoo...

    Most original i find this 'schlos neuschweistein'. It is a city with a population of guini pig. Not the main attraction but nice to see.

    The elephants are housed an an impressive indian temple. You can sit in the center and enjoy a coffee 'out of india' and watch the elephants on the right , a colony of monkeys and deer on the left....

    A few steps away are the tigers having a nap and you can go visit the souvenirchop.

    You wont escape the german sausage..not even in India. :-)

    Zoo Hannover: gorilla mountain

    gorilla mountain
    by belgianchocolate
    This is quit an attraction. A gorilla mountain. Don't be misguided. These aren't the rare mountain gorilla's. You wont find any of those in a zoo
    (there is one case where there is a lot of doubt - want a pic , write to me)

    But these are the more common western lowland gorilla. They got a spacious outside that is really a must see visually. The gorillas seem to be quit happy and did some serious family expansion. More pictures from these magnificent animals in the album below.

    Gorillas live in family groups with one male leader and about 4 females. Gorillas are vegetarians and quit gentle animals. Sometimes a younger male (a son of ..) travels along with the group as a peripheral male. He protects the group. Females usually have one young evry 4 or 5 years and how smarter the animal the less instinct the more they will have to learn from their mother.

    Very modern zoo! It has a 'real' Zambesi for giraffes, hippos and boats, a gorilla mountain, an Indian palace for the elephants and a 'real' German farm. And a lot of animals of course! You can go on a boat on the 'Zambesi' to see the animals from the river. (It's included in the ticket)
    Drinks and Food is quite expensive. Bring your own stuff! Ticket prices are high, too but it's worth it (approx. 13 Euro, cheaper in winter)!

    I really love this zoo and I would say that it´s one of the best in Europe. Most animals are kept in large exhibits.... A great attraction is a boat trip on the Sambesi.......you can watch the African animals from a boat. There is an Indian temple, which is the home for the elephants and tiger and the is a typical farm with cows and pigs for the city kids!!! Their products are served in the zoo´s restaurant "Meyer´s Hof". Excellent kitchen!

    The entrance fee is quite high, but it´s worth it.......all animal have a better life through that...

    if you would like to see some more pictures from the Zoo in Hannover have a look at my travelogues in "Niedersachsen" (Lower Saxony)
    The Hannover Zoo is quite modern, they try to build places where the animals feel "like home".
    Only what people know, can they love.
    Only what they love will they protect.
    This is the philosophy behind Hannover's new Zoo. It was declared an EXPO-Project called "EXPOnat Hannover Zoo" ("Exhibit Hannover Zoo"), with an entirely new concept of visitors' experience. The new attractions like the Gorilla Mountain, Jungle Palace, Meyers Hof, Sambesi and (in the near future) Arktika, were designed as enclosures (rather than the traditional cages) where the animals can live in conditions similar to their natural habitats.

    Our zoo has just undergone a very intensive renovation. Since the EXPO 2000 started a lot has changed. Before the renovation the tigers were in very, very small cages and everything looked grey and sad. Now, after the fantastic changes, the animals have a lot of room to run around. The enclosures look like their 'real' surroundings and those animals, who live together in the wilderness, live together in the zoo, too (except for those who would eat each other!).
