The Animal Resort

The Animal Resort is a kampong-style farm with rabbits, guinea pigs, a horse, fish, beautiful grey crowned cranes, a cassowary, white and blue peacocks, chickens, and a fierce Marabou Stork. The geese and ducks are free-range and they will eat out of your hand if you let them. 
 


You have to purchase food to feed the animals. Unless you like animal saliva all over you, it's best not to have your hands full so you can designate one hand to feed animals and the other to do important things like scratch your nose!
The little shop also sells snacks for humans, like biscuits and bottled drinks, if you get peckish. 

When it was time to go....

Me: Come on... We need to go and get lunch!

Little boy: (dismayed) No! I don't want to!

Me: Why not? Aren't you hungry?

Little boy: (sadly) I want to eat nice food... not these animal biscuits!


What to bring:

  1. Wet wipes - for cleaning your hands after feeding the animals. The taps were out of order the last time we visited so we rinsed our hands with the hose in the toilet.
  2. Tissues - the toilets are very basic and toilet roll wasn't available.
  3. Insect repellant - for those with delicious blood. I'm quite yummy (to mosquitoes) so I wear jeans and covered shoes to protect my legs!
