Louisville Zoo with the Family...

Having enjoyed our drinks and sausage rolls at Ntaba Coffee Haus, we headed on to our next destination, the Louisville Zoo. The cold weather kept the crowds at bay, and so it was a quiet, peaceful day walking around the vast zoo. The children loved seeing all the animals, especially the reptiles, elephants, and tigers. I particularly enjoyed the peaceful, calm gorillas, while Candace's favourite animals were the giraffe and zebras.
