Keep your windows locked unless you want a giraffe eating your snacks or ruining the upholstery. Arrive by 10am to catch the lions before they turn into nap-happy rugs. Skip the public buses if you hate sweaty crowds; spend the extra cash on a private tour to control your pace and snap clear photos. Budget four hours, bypass the gift shop junk, and embrace the chaos. It’s chaotic, but the animal access is unmatched.
