Go to the pool towards the end of the day and the Rhino and zebra come up to the fence for a pat!
You would never believe how close the pool is to the animals.
The theme park is good for a look as it set out like Jerasic park so interesting for all ages.
Go to the mother and baby elephant quite early and buy (10,000IDR) as many bunches of carrots as you want to feed them,you will be able to touch both mother and baby and get some great shots. later in the day the baby gets a bit tired and hot so lays under its mothers feet a lot.
same for the other petting animals,if you go for a walk early after breakfast the cats are very active as they have just been fed or waiting to be fed,later in the day they just want to sleep so many think they have been drugged!
Wait for a "rear" seat on the tram bus as this gives you your best view of all the cats from the rear window without bustling to get good pics.
The animals seem used to the tram and lay down when it approaches but they get up and walk about as soon as it starts to leave so this is the best time for shots from the rear window.
