    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place where we can see wild animals in their natural environment. The park has closed but everything is being done for its upcoming reopening. (Original) Bel endroit où l'on peut voir des animaux sauvages dans leur milieu naturel. Le parc a fermé mais tout est mis en œuvre pour sa réouverture prochaine.

    The DECAN Refuge was so cool to see and experience. You can really tell they care for the animals and give them the best life possible. There was quite a bit of walking to see everything but you also had the opportunity to feel like you were in Africa. I would highly recommend the wildlife REFUGE for the experience, the animals and the great staff!

    (Translated by Google) It is a facility where you can watch protected animals living close to nature. There is a souvenir corner at the entrance or a drink shop inside the facility. At first glance, you do not know what is where, you may get lost, but there is also a fairly rough layout at the entrance. It seems that I can ride a camel with 1000df, but I did not do it when I went. I think this will be impressive in a certain way with various facilities. According to one theory, the lion here fled the other day, but where did he go? (Original) 保護された動物が自然に近い形で生活しているのを眺められる施設です。 入り口にはお土産コーナーがあったり施設内に飲み物屋さんがあったりします。 初見だとどこに何がいるかわかりません、迷子になることもありますが一応入り口にはかなりざっくりとした配置図もあります。 1000dfでらくだに乗れるそうですが私が行ったときにはやっていませんでした。 色々とアバウトな施設でこれがアフリカかーとある意味感動すると思います。 一説では先日ここのライオンが逃げたそうですがどこに行ったんでしょうねー。

    This place feels likes it used to be good and well maintained but now for some reason it falls into parts. That's a pity because this is a good cause. Please all go to support!

    (Translated by Google) Great visit, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, where one can walk peacefully in a clean and natural environment and see animals that have been rescued (Original) Super visite, loin du chahu de la ville, où l'on peut se promener paisiblement dans un environnement propre et naturel et voir des animaux qui ont été sauvés

    (Translated by Google) Unique place in Djibouti where you can observe terrestrial fauna that has completely disappeared or is endangered in Djibouti. The Decan refuge is not only a pleasant place to discover, but above all a place to educate the public and especially young people in the preservation of nature so fragile in Djibouti and in the region. (Original) Unique endroit à Djibouti où l'on peut observer une faune terrestre de complètement disparue ou en voie de disparition à Djibouti. Le refuge Decan est un endroit non seulement agréable de ,découverte mais surtout un lieu de sensibilisation du public et surtout des jeunes à la préservation la nature si fragile à Djibouti et dans la région.

    (Translated by Google) Awesome ! The opening hours and days are noted on the DECAN refuge website, google sometimes says errors, it is normally Thursday, Friday, Saturday. You walk in complete autonomy in the middle of animals which have been taken in following abandonment, injuries or donations ... their well-being is ensured by the visits because the refuge does not receive an external donation ... The animals are beautiful, in good shape and in great conditions, especially the herbivore savanna part! Good visits 318798 (Original) Génial ! Les horaires et jours d'ouverture sont notés sur le site du refuge DECAN, google dit parfois des erreurs, c'est le jeudi, vendredi, samedi normalement. Vous vous promenez en toute autonomie au milieu d'animaux qui ont été recueillis suite à des abandons, des blessures ou des dons... leur bien-être est assuré par les visites car le refuge ne recoit pas de donation extérieure... Les animaux sont beaux, en forme et dans des conditions super, tout particulièrement la partie savane des herbivores ! Bonnes visites 318798
