📍 Burgers' Zoo: Where Humans Are Irrelevant 🤷‍♂️

I’d always wanted to visit a European zoo, and when I found out that Burgers' Zoo—one of the Netherlands’ highest-rated—was just an 18-minute bike ride away, I went straight there. But when I arrived, I realized this was nothing like a traditional zoo. In fact, it felt almost anti-human—as if the philosophy was: "Animals come first, humans… eh, whatever." 🌿 8 Immersive Ecosystems, Wildly Authentic This place doesn’t just simulate nature—it recreates it down to the smallest detail. For example: ✔ Desert Zone – So dry your throat tightens, with sunlight so harsh it feels like a survival challenge. ✔ Rainforest Zone – Humid enough to fog up your phone screen (swipe at your own risk!). ✔ Butterfly Zone – Wetland creatures roam freely, butterflies land on your hands, and there’s no "proper viewing angle"—just chaos. 🐾 Animals Roam Free, Maps Are Useless Most enclosures are barely there. At one point, I almost stepped on a lizard… When I asked staff, "Where’s [X animal]?" they just shrugged: "Somewhere in this zone… good luck!" 🔍 This Is a Safari, Not a Zoo Forget ticking off exhibits one by one—here, you hunt for wildlife with patience and luck. Case in point: The two giant green geckos in the last photo? They were camouflaged on a sign. Blink, and you’d miss them. #Netherlands #BurgersZoo #BestZooEver #WildlifeExploration #DutchTravel #Arnhem #UnfilteredNature
