• he Reptiles: The park houses roughly 20 different species of snakes, ranging from highly venomous species like the Black Mamba, Green Mamba, Forest Cobra, and Puff Adder, to large non-venomous constrictors like Pythons. • Other Wildlife: Beyond snakes, you can see crocodiles, monitor lizards, chameleons, tortoises, turtles, terrapins, and even local owls or monkeys. • The Experience: The park relies heavily on its interactive, hands-on guided tours.
