    Do not expect anything of this place. I’m not quite sure what to make of the zoo. At times it feels like a random collection of 6 animals being housed in someone’s very big back garden. Firstly, it’s poorly signed. I mistook it for a graveyard the first time around. I felt incredibly sad for the animals. The tortoise looked like they hadn’t eaten in months, I’ve never see tortoises move so fast at the sight of food. The only highlight was getting up close and personal to feed the giraffe. The other animals include hyenas, baboons, some snakes and wilder beast. There are no zebras here. The place is absolutely run down. You need a guide to show you around as it’s not obvious where the animals are located. There’s no information on any of the animals. No food facilities here. It was absolutely dead on a weekday. At one point I questioned how secure the enclosures were!

    I was there last year, summer 2015. It was sad to visit. Few kind of animals, small cages, a poor enterprise, probably lacking enough financing. But interesting in a way. In some kind of backward way I Iiked it.

    The place requires a good manament team...but does hold potential to become great. Just a little bit of time of effort required and a larger area. All in all a good quiet zoo.

    the zoo is very neglected, the access road is unpaved. On the Internet they write that the ticket costs 5,000, and on the spot they say 10,000 Scammers.

    The animals look miserable in their dirty and tiny enclosures , the environment is depressing and the two guides are incompetent. It is a very depressing and boring place. Animal rights activists should shut it down.

    If you are looking for a deeply quit place. That will be the perfectly one. But if you tried to relax you will find a lot of ants around you. I think also that's the only place that they have a giraffe with few numbers for other animals like lions, monkeys, birds and others. The don't have any services inside like foods and drinks.

    The zoo itself is very bleak. There is a lioness, a couple of hyenas, some hungry turtles and some very skinny monkeys. You can tour the whole zoo in less than 20 minutes. But the children did enjoy feeding the large and smaller turtles. There used to be a giraffe there last year that we could feed as well but he wasn't there this time. The entrance fee is reasonable, 2000tsh per child and 5000tsh per adult.

    This area is reserved as a water catchment area. It is located in Njombe region (formally Iringa region) The reserved area has some attractive areas such as the Terezani Waterfall, vegetation (grass land and trees) small and mid sized wild animals like roes (digidigi) monkeys 🐒 hares etc. and the Mount Kipengere) The area is easily reachable by Iringa Mbeya road and the nearest town center is Chimala and the nearest city is Mbeya. Also the area is reachable by Njombe Makete road. Through this road the Mount Kipengere is well seen at Kipengere village.
