 | | Although a growing number of theme parks pander to a tourist appetite for ethnic culture, South Africa draws as much from global influences as it does from homegrown sources; you won't be able to tell a power-dressed Xhosa from a jeans-wearing Zulu in downtown Johannesburg. |
| | The size of the park and the fact that many of the animals were circus specimens ensured that most would not be replaced and in the 1940s, the flower beds were expanded, along with the menagerie, aviaries and the children's play area (which also caters for handicapped children). |
| | The park hosts a wide assortment of mature, exotic trees from around the world, an orchid house containing 3,000 blooms from around the world, palm walk, cycads, a sunken garden, a herb garden, a scented garden and a lake that is home to egrets, kingfishers, ducks and other water birds. |
