Front-load your day with decisions that reduce walking and waiting.


30-Minute Timeline

  • 0–5 min: Enter, grab map, check closures and enrichment times.
  • 5–10 min: Pick route; set alarms for must-see windows.
  • 10–20 min: First marquee stop (Congo or Tigers).
  • 20–30 min: Second anchor or indoor backup (JungleWorld/Reptiles).

Tip: Set alarms on your phone for must-see times.


Setup Essentials

  • Map photo on your phone with marked restrooms/refills.
  • Microfiber cloth for lenses/glasses.
  • Portable charger; battery dips fast with photos and maps.

Route Choice (Quick Table)

Priority Start Why
Behavior Congo or Tigers Peak activity early
Comfort JungleWorld Climate control and calm
Photos Tigers → Congo Best light and angles early

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wandering without a plan (wastes steps).
  • Eating during peak lunch (adds queues).
  • Skipping water early (energy dips later).

Bottom Line

Great days start with great starts. Use those first minutes well.
