The First Picnic Place which I visited four year ago

Good place to visit

Great Zoo

Although there are almost all kinds of animals that Afghanistan have, but I give three stars because facilities for animals are very tight, animals are locked in small cages.

Its good to see such improvement in Afghanistan but we have to keep them clean too

I have not been there, but of course through friends, they are saying that the responsible staff do not take care of the animals, regarding their health, hygiene and food. For this reason, I dont wanna visit a place where silent living things are cruelly ruled. :( :(

It was a go place

Some animals were nice to see, but many are sad to visit.

Pretty much undeveloped but very good place for family vacation.

Not bad coz many animals were missing from zoo

Was exiting and joyfully.

ACTUALLY it wasnt a zoo, here just bothered animals. The staff doesnt care about the animals.

Thats was good place for me.

The founders of the zoo and their German advisors did well for Afghanistan for that period. Even a pond enclosure to mimic Afghanistans well-known waterfowl lake, Ab-e-Istada, was included where one could see Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber roseus), Spoonbills (Platalea leucocoridia), Stilts (Himantopus himantopus), Shelducks (Tadorna tadornaand Ruddy Shelducks (Tadorna ferruginea). In addition Afghan pheasants were kept and bred in a pheasantry besides several exotic species. Afghan subspecies of the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus bianchiilives only in northern Afghanistan. Himalayan Monal (Lophophorus impejanusas well as Koklass (Pucrasia macrolophais from Nuristan in east AfghanistanThe zoo maintained the Afghanistan leopard which could be seen only in six zoos of the world at the time. In 1973 a snow leopard was donated from "royal breeding stock" of the King along with some other animals.Cologne Zoo, Germany, contributed the pair of tigers which were possibly (Panthera tigrisor perhaps an undeterminate subspecies. The 1969 Red Data Book of IUCN estimated that the total number of the Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgataranging through northern Afghanistan, Turkestan and northern Iran was 50 to 80. Dr. Gunther Nogge conducted several expeditions to the Amu Darya region, however, and was convinced that the sub-species no longer existed in AfghanistanKabul Zoo today, according to the occasional visitor and welfare organizations, is not faring well. It is still supported by the Kabul Municipal authority or the Taliban Mayor of Kabul but the war and political instability as well as social and economic difficulties have taken a vast toll. There is no legislation or official agreement for the zoo which, then, is at the mercy of the inclination of the government officials which happen to be holding the Municipal postsThe focus of the zoo was Afghan fauna. In 1972 there were 32 species of mammals, 85 species of birds and 4 species of reptiles. The total number of animals in the zoo was 417, nearly all of which were collected in Afghanistan. There was also a lion, a tiger, some pheasants and parrots. Twenty five years ago there were several rare species listed in the Red Data Book of IUCN and others which were rarely seen in captivity.The zoo was very popular with visitors and press. In 1972 the number of visitors was more than 150,000, an increase of more than 20% over the previous. Thus, public interest could be fired about wildlife problems in Afghanistan. The first hunting law was drafted with a proposal for the establishment of wildlife reserves in different parts of the country.————————Thanks For Watching 🙂!

Good place specially for children to change their mind but I dont know what is the problem? the zookeepers really do not pay attention to the animals, the animals are always hungry and the are getting thin day after day.The government should really pay attention to this matter.

It was really amazing zoo.

Kabul Zoo is a great place to visit, families, kids and young people visits this place every day for fun. To get inside you need a ticket, and you get the ticket from the from door.

Good place to visit......most likely to be the lovers park😉

Ñot many animals but probably a good place to walk around.

It was really winderful Park to visit having good atmosphere, along with today weather which was a plus point for me and my friends.

Kabul zoo a place where people come here for watching animals with their family and specially for kids it is a good and entertaining place they kida like zoo alot so it is good for making mind fresh and enjoy watching animals with their families

Kabul Zoo is the only zoo in Kabul province. It is located near to Dehmazang area. It has many species of birds, snakes and animals, including lion, tiger, bears and others. It is a place of social fathering for families, espacially for children.

I hope it was better! Could be with a better management and point of view. Furthermore, the garden is too small for the only one Zoo of the country.

We havent expect what was entertained us later. Lots of animals are kept there and it is great to see them especially for kids here. Pam Pam had really great time. camels and bears were at good mood among them that day.

Kabul Zoo is one of the most visited place in Kabul Afghanistan. This Zoo was founded in 1967. Unfortunately this zoo was damaged during civil wars in Kabul. Before wars there were more than 90 different animal kept in this zoo the total amount were about 1800 animals. After wars the living condition of these animals became very bad day by day its gone worse and worse many of them were died due to bad living conditions. this situation is still going on right now unfortunately the animal are in bad condition. Despite these there are more than 500 visitors in this zoo except Fridays and holidays which the amount of visitors became up to 5000 people. Monthly they spend about 3000 american dollars for feeding these animals. This zoo needs to be rebuild and have very serious and expert maintenance team. Im looking forward to see this zoo as best zoo of the country!

Overall a good place for Kids to spend some time and enjoy. Never visit on Public holidays if you like your kids to feel relaxed and see some animals.

Even though Kabul zoo is no longer as full of animals as 1990 and before, but it is still good place to experience seeing some animals and pass time.When I was like 6 years old we used to live close to the zoo and would go there frequently, I have very bitter experience when we used to live near the zoo when so called Mujahideen took over of Kabul started fighting against each other.They placed heavy arms inside the zoo and they let the animals free.Elephant died due to D-30 Russian Hawitzer placed inside firing dozens of rounds every day.I personally saw monckies climbed the trees on the streets throwing things at people.That was the time when our home got hit by two missles completely and my mother martyred and a brother of mine got serious injuries. So bad time

Not alot of things to see.

I love it, but I wish to see this tiger awake, he is sleeping all the day. I went 2 times there but I didnt see him awake. At least upload a pic of him,

It was a really good place and every one can enjoy, if you have time dont miss the chance to visit Kabul zoo

It was inaugurated in 1967 with a focus on Afghan fauna, being very popular with visitors and press. The zoo once had more than 500 animals, with about 150,000 visitors coming to see them in 1972.[1]The zoo suffered significant damage during the 1990s civil war; the aquarium was damaged by shelling, and combatants took the deer and rabbits for food.[2] An elephant, 25-year-old Hathi, was killed when a rocket attacked the zoo. Some exotic animals like rare species of birds, were smuggled out and sold in the black market

Dont forget to see the independence monument

Nice place to visit. With a coffee shop, restaurants and of course a prayer place.

It is very good and unique place in Kabul city. The ticket is not expensive and open to everyone in 7 days of the week, but it is very crowd every Friday

Even Though the zoo is not in a good condition but overall it is worth paying a visit. The central government needs to allocate more budge for the improvement of the Zoos and the animals condition.

This is the most HILARIOUS zoo I have ever visited! They have a blind lion, a pig with graffiti on it, kids throwing rocks at the pig, you couldnt make this stuff up! I loved this place! I even liked it better than the Oakland Zoo
