Tsimbazaza Zoo & Botanical Gardens — Attraction in Analamanga

Unfortunately, this zoo is seemingly managed by people who intend to see it as nothing but a cheapo theme park.

The plants look neglected, and often bear the signs of deliberate vandalism from careless visitors.

The only animals that don’t look miserable and neglected are the herons, and only because they roam free and do not depend on the park for care and food. Some of the cages outright look empty, despite signs claiming otherwise.

Park personnel visibly lack any training except for making sure that the customer pays all the expected fees. While most of them try their best with the little they’ve been given, some are downright rude.

While most of my criticism goes to the park, I will mention the visitors. Many are uneducated and unwilling to show any respect for the plants and animals. Many parents encourage their (many) children to openly harass the animals.

If the sight of Madagascar’s most emblematic bird of prey stuck in a cage that won’t even allow them to extend their wings is likely to break your heart, avoid this park...
