J managed to ballot for tickets to river safari last weekend, so we only brought my sis along since my parents were busy and couldn't make it. Since we reached only at 12pm, we decided to settle our lunch at KFC first.

Unlike the zoo, river safari is mainly sheltered and there's a couple of places which are air-conditioned. We started our journey at the Mississippi river: featuring the Alligator gar (my first photo), alligator snapping turtle and some other fishes.
Next up, the African dwarf crocodile at the Congo River.
The Indian Gharial, usually found in the Ganges river was seriously huge but sadly we didn't get to see it move.

After following the trail for about an hour, we finally reached the most popular and long-awaited Giant Panda Forest! Kai Kai and Jia Jia were super cute! We stayed there for a good 10 to 15 mins just looking at them.
We really enjoyed our trip to the river safari and it was truly interesting and entertaining. We were there for about 4.5 hours, slowly strolling, reading each descriptions and closely looking at each species! Awesome edu-tainment :D
