Randers Rainforest – Some unexpected encounters in Africa and Asia
Although the two domes of Africa and Asia are smaller than the one of South-America, you can still discover a lot of interesting animals and have a lot of fun. Here also, you walk around in a rainforest.
We started in the dome of Africa, which is the home of the Colobus monkeys, parrots and other birds and the Aardvark (also called hog). This last animal is housed in a cave, which he shares with giant rats and … bats. Yes, bats again. And here their freedom is not restricted to a cave, but to the whole dome! You see them flying everywhere, together with the brightly colored parrots.
Another fun thing to do in this dome is to walk on a footpath, where you can cross a stream via stepping stones. In the stream itself, you can see all kinds of tropical fish. I tried to take a picture of this footpath, but since I was afraid to lose my balance, I didn’t do it.
In the last dome, you can see amongst others gibbons, otters, turtles, a Komodo dragon and Flying Foxes. Yes, another species of bats again… My favorite spot was the snake temple. Here you can touch pythons, spiders, toads and geckos; the biggest pythons are behind glass though. I would have liked to spend more time here, but The Viking seemed to be in a hurry. I guess snakes are not his favorite animals…
We had a lot of fun in Randers Rainforest and it has actually been an eye-opener. The Viking and I have learned that we don’t have to stick to beautiful landscapes and museums to have fun. This has really opened the door for us for new experiences!

Ingrid is a Worldette!
LOVE the python pic!
My daughter (9) loves animals and is especially focused on snakes. These photos you have of the pythons are great. She also has interest in the Komodo Dragon. Our local zoo used to have one. But, not anymore.
I am surprised that children are so fascinated by them and that a lot of adults aren’t.
We adopted a ball python for her at our local nature center. It stays there. We provide $ for food and care. My daughter visits as often as she can to learn more about how to care for it.
It looks like you and The Viking had a great time at this place. Thanks for sharing. My person loves places like this.
Yep, we had a lot of fun!
WOW!!! dit zijn prachtige foto’s
, het is triest hoe de mens de natuur ondergeschikt aan de natuur maakt
