Mogo Wildlife Park
Established in 1989, Mogo Wildlife Park is situated 10 kilometres south of Batemans Bay on the New South Wales south coast. Housing over 250 animals, of which more than 44 are rare or exotic species, the park is one of the most successful private zoos in Australia.
The majority of the animals’ enclosures emulate their natural habitats, providing a more realistic environment for them to live in. With plenty of space, the zoo has managed to create some large enclosures, especially for the zebras and giraffes, which have a huge area to roam in.
Walking around the zoo took several hours, as there is so much to see. There is a large variety of exhibits, ranging from cute meerkats and red pandas, to Sumatrans tigers and white lions.
If visiting the south coast of New South Wales, this is a great way to spend half a day. For a closer look at the animals, the wildlife park offers a range of up-close encounters.
