Bester Birds and Animals Zoo Park was founded by Mike Bester who originally founded the organization Breeding Birds in Pretoria - South Africa. As breeders of exotic birds and animals, the zoo imports and exports various rare animals.
Their Private Zoo in the east of Pretoria, has now been open for 8 years. They have 55 bird species and 40 varieties of animals. School groups and families are welcome to bring picnic lunches which they can enjoy under the trees while they learn about our animals, how to feed them and care for them.
Their farm area has a variety of safe animals which children are allowed to handle, cuddle and feed. Children are given two bowls of food and are supervised and coached on how to feed the animals while they sit amongst bunnies, guinea pigs and chicks or ducks.
They organise childrens birthday parties with party packs, and have a kiosk available for purchasing cool drinks and snacks. For Pre-Primary and Primary school children and all adults who need to de-stress.
