Discover the Wonders of the National Zoological Gardens

Getting There

• Bus

  If you are starting from Pretoria Central, head to the Pretoria Bus Terminal located at 24 Pretorius Street. From there, you can catch a bus to the Daspoort area. Look for buses that indicate they are going towards the West, such as routes 123, 125, or 128. The ride should take about 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Get off at the stop closest to Boom Street, then walk towards 232 Boom Street, which is where the National Zoological Gardens is located.

• Taxi (Metered Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service)

  From any location in Pretoria, you can call a metered taxi or use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt. Simply enter 'National Zoological Gardens' or the address '232 Boom St, Daspoort 319-Jr, Pretoria, 0001' as your destination. The driver will take you directly to the zoo. This option is convenient and allows you to relax while someone else navigates the city.

• Walking

  If you are staying in a nearby area such as Daspoort or the surrounding neighborhoods, walking to the National Zoological Gardens is also an option. Start by heading towards Boom Street. Once on Boom Street, follow the road until you reach 232 Boom Street, where the zoo’s entrance is located. It is advisable to check the distance beforehand to ensure it is walkable for you.
