Locals celebrate Johannesburg Zoo’s birthday in Zoo Trot fashion
Until March 29, the Johannesburg Zoo gates are accessible for R20.

Locals showed up in droves at the Johannesburg Zoo for the birthday edition of the Zoo Trot on March 10.

The Johannesburg Zoo, an iconic haven for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers, is proudly ringing in its 120th anniversary this March.


Transitioning since 1904 from iron cages with five animals, to currently boasting over 2 000 specimens, in spacious, open, and landscaped enclosures, the globally recognised Joburg Zoo has come a long way and remains the most sought-after entry point to view the Big 5, in any urban centre.



The Zoo Trot is one of the celebrations hosted during the birthday month. Other celebrations include Senior Citizens Day, R20 entrance fee and free entrance if your birthday is this month.
