Zoo Management Services

The Bloemfontein Zoo was founded in 1906, and since then it has developed into a world-class zoo. It is managed within the ambit of SANS 10379 and ethical standards of the Pan African Association of Zoos, Aquaria and Botanical Gardens (PAAZAB) and plays an important role within MANGAUNG to accommodate people who want to experience and learn about wildlife on their doorstep.

Mission

The business unit is committed to conservation for generations to come and provides an educational and recreational opportunity for all with a dignified and esthetical pleasing environment for the animals.
