Where is this road? I have a few plots of land and a house not far from the zoo, but I've never actually been there...I hate seeing caged animals.

It's been a few years since I've been, but it's a long straight away off the main road, almost right before you get to the zoo.

I also think they splashed us with water the whole way, or maybe they were throwing water on the dirt road to make the dust settle, I forget.

I surprisingly liked that zoo a lot! You almost feel like it's not a zoo and you're just wondering around the jungle with random animal out and about.

Big birds roaming around a lake, and you can walk all around with them.

They also have the "Save the Bears" out there. Very cool to see the bears up close like that.

And right when we were getting back to the car a dude came up asking for $5. We only saw him for 30 seconds at the very beginning when he pointed us to the direction of some animal. The Cambodian girl I was with gave me the "just pay him" look, so I did. Grrrrrr

On the subject of zoos...I highly recommend NOT going to the one in Kampot, the conditions those animals are kept in are appalling, although it does look like it once used to be of a much higher standard.

After spending a significant amount of time in Africa, and seeing animals living and roaming freely in their natural environment, it makes me sick seeing caged animals...unless they're of the drug-dealing, kiddy-fiddling, murdering sub-species of the human race.
