Third Annual Easter Egg Hunt 4/5 April

Posted on Fri March 27, 2026.

There is a shift in the air this year. You will feel it as you move beneath the tree canopies, where 40 years of conservation have led to this moment.

You will hear it first. The sound of excited children moving ahead. Searching. Running. Engaging with nature as it was always meant to be.

On 4 and 5 April, we will host our third annual Easter Egg Hunt.

This is not only families following tradition. It is young explorers stepping into a space filled with curiosity, learning, and discovery.

From 09:30 to 15:30, the hunt will begin every hour on the half hour. Children will lead the way. The search for Easter eggs will only be the beginning.

At the enrichment station, located in the Kiddies Play Area, children will step behind the scenes. They will build, think, and create with purpose. What begins as a simple activity will become part of the animals’ day. Real enrichment. Real interaction.

Alongside this, we invite children to write letters to their favourite animals. Names signed at the bottom. Messages carried forward through the same enrichment process. A small gesture, held onto and shared again through the stories we tell.

At set times, the focus will shift.

Inside the Explorium, our team will host reptile talks. Calm. Measured. Grounded in knowledge. These sessions invite a closer look. An understanding of movement, pattern, and behaviour. Fear replaced with clarity.

Two talks daily. Limited to 16 guests. Booking is required.

Book here:

Around all of this, the space remains open.

Families will move at their own pace. Some will pause. Others will return to moments that stayed with them. There is no rush. Only rhythm.

For parents, there is structure.
For children, there is freedom.

Practical details matter.

The Easter Egg Hunt carries a participation fee of R10 per child.
Enrichment and reptile talks remain free.

Visitors attending KKNK can access the full experience for R40 with a valid festival wristband on 4 April. Children under four enter free. On 5 April, standard rates will apply.

This is not a stop along the way.

It will be the part of the day they speak about on the drive home. The story they return to. The moment that stays with them.

This Easter, give them something real.

Lilo Gets a Stitch | Understanding Glaucoma in Wildlife Thu May 28, 2026

Recently, one of our much-loved brown lemurs, Lilo, underwent an important veterinary procedure after developing a condition known as glaucoma. Glaucoma occurs when pressure builds up inside the eye due to fluid not draining properly. Over time, this pressure can damage the eye itself as well as the optic nerve - the part responsible for sending visual information to the brain. In both humans and animals, glaucoma can become extremely painful if...

When the floods came, they came without mercy. What started as rain quickly turned into something the region was simply not prepared for. Water tore through the Klein Karoo with a force that felt impossible to stop. Roads disappeared overnight. Bridges collapsed, pathways and homes were swallowed by mud and raging water. Places filled with memories, hard work, and years of dedication were left broken in a matter of hours. There were...
