Zoo Core Editors Desk

Our team of passionate travel writers and editors brings a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience to covering the world's most notable zoos, wildlife parks, and animal encounters. With a shared love for wildlife conservation and a sense of wonder for the natural world, we aim to inspire and inform travelers looking to responsibly visit and support leading zoological facilities. Collectively, our core Zoo SMEs have explored over 200 zoos and wildlife parks across 6 continents - from the dense jungles of Singapore's Night Safari to the wide-open plains of San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We've had up-close encounters with majestic creatures like silverback gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, felt the spray of Humboldt penguins diving in at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and watched in awe as a family of elephants bathed in the river at Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
