Dyreparken i Kristiansand – Norwegian zoo in Kristiansand
Posted on June 8, 2014
Summer means our yearly visit to the Norwegian Zoo in Kristiansand, with my two dear friends Camilla and Elisabeth! We always try to go before the busiest summer months start, simply because it can be so stressful to walk around and look at the animals when there’s literately thousands of people trying to do the same. Just like last year, we picked a perfect day! There were so few people, and the weather wasn’t too hot and sunny, so the animals were all active and easy to spot. We even got to see some proper lion action (as well as the tigers!), which rarely happens since they usually just sleep in the shade when it’s hot. I’ve been to quite a few zoo’s, but I got to say that there’s no other zoo that can even come close to the one in Kristiansand! Always a great success, as it was this year as well (:

Sorry for little to no activity here the last two weeks, I am currently without a functioning computer, so I have to go to the library to access my blog/mail/uni notes. Really annoying, but I’ll see if I can get my computer fixed over the weekend. Went for a nice photo trip with one of my flat mates the other day, but can’t upload the pictures before my pc is working again, so I’ll post an old post that I had in my draft folder for now. Hopefully people will still enjoy the photos!
I’ve been to many zoo’s in my life, but I have to say that Dyreparken i Kristiansand is something special. I love how the wild life section is HUGE, and if you want to see any animals you’d have to either be really really lucky, or be there when they are being fed. The animals are not forced into small concrete cages where they’re displayed as objects for tourists to enjoy (like a lot of animals in Edinburgh Zoo), but the whole zoo is based on what’s best for the animals. The zoo in Kristiansand, Norway is also in the world class when it comes to breeding, which tells a lot of how comfortable, happy and healthy the animals are!
If you’re ever in the southern area of Norway: take a day trip to the Zoo in Kristiansand! You’ll need at least a day, since the area of the zoo is massive! This is no ad, btw, I just really love this zoo!
