Singapore Zoo Tour
The Singapore Zoo is considered by many to be the best zoo in the world. And we highly recommend visiting it - it is definitely one of the largest and most beautiful. Here, animals are kept in free enclosures, and sometimes it seems that their existence is not limited by anything. However, deep ditches, often hidden from the eyes of visitors by skillfully planted vegetation, protect the tranquility of both animals and people. In the Singapore Zoo you will be able to observe the life of those who, perhaps, have seen only on the screen, and here white tigers, predatory crocodiles, slow hippos, nimble and soft lemurs, kind orangutans, tiny mouse deer and noisy otters will literally appear in front of your eyes. at arm's length.
This is a very educational tour and one of the best tours in Singapore. At almost every enclosure, you will learn something useful about its inhabitants. For example, how far can an adult tiger jump? Or what ambient temperature does the polar bear prefer? And also the leaves of which tree do amazing proboscis monkeys eat? An autoinformer standing at each enclosure and speaking three languages ​​will carefully issue a certificate to those who speak at least English.
A visit to the Singapore Zoo is an unforgettable walk and a real adventure. Wear comfortable shoes, because you have to walk a lot, sometimes jump in surprise, or even run from one enclosure to another, so as not to miss how the cubs are fed here, and there they put on a show. Twenty-eight hectares are the dimensions the Singapore Zoo, and the whole area is covered with forest, however, in its shady greenery, do not forget to stock up on water: the high humidity in these places requires replenishing liquid supplies regularly.
On the territory of the zoo there are several cafes and restaurants where you can take a breath and have a delicious lunch. And, what is most interesting, the animals themselves may also join your meal: it may very well be that some curious orangutan or a weighty python will decide to share the menu with you. In this case, do not be afraid and be generous: these tame animals have long learned to be polite, and they are asking for your table solely for your own pleasure.

History of Singapore.

The ancient Persian navigators called this land "Lee". And in those days, trade flourished here, and merchants with their goods flocked here like a river.
