You don’t have to travel to Africa to hang with a hippo! Get up close and personal with a hippopotamus during a hippo close encounter tour at this zoo in Adelaide. Also included is day admission to the zoo so you can check out many other amazing animals from around the world!

Meerkats, otters and Malayan sun bears – you’ll see a global menagerie of animals during your visit to this zoo. With your zoo admission you can spend the day viewing animals (both from Australia and other continents), relaxing in picnic areas or pick up a bite to eat from the cafe.

The highlight of the day is the special Hippo Encounter behind-the-scenes tour! During this tour you’ll get to meet Susie and Brutus, a huge pair of Nile hippos. Help the keeper give the hippos their daily mouth check and then feed them a hippo snack! With a maximum of six people in the group this is a very special experience!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brilliant present! I received the voucher for the hippo encounter as a Xmas present - fantastic idea. I was lucky enough to be the only person on the tour and spent one-on-one time with the keepers for the hippos, girraffes and meerkats and got to feed and touch all of the animals. Had a wonderful time. 24 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent up close experience with the hippos Experience was better overall and better value than expected. It was a gift from someone else which i would recommend to others or buy another one for myself. We were able to feed and wash the hippos and even pat one of them, with a bonus brief encounter with the giraffes. 17 November 2012
