“Garden
of Eden” resonates with where Adam and Eve first met. This time around, it’s a
Zoo.! Surprised? Well don’t be. Over the
weekend, on Saturday, 17th I toured at this Zoo, thank God for good
friends.
Garden
of Eden was established some 5 years ago, when Mr. Appiah the owner of the Zoo,
lived in Israel for over 36 years. During his stay in Israel, he shared with me that
the youngest person to have died then was a 102 years. I looked surprised and asked
him what influenced that. He said the
secret was that they lived with animals and it is true when animals and plants
cohabit with humans it made them live longer.

However
when he returned home (Ghana), he was motivated and decided to set up a zoo,
that was what gave birth to “Garden of Eden”. Most of the animals that inhabit
in Garden of Eden are from Israel, Belgium, Egypt and others including some local
breeds.

In
the zoo, you will see the African Civet cats; which are nocturnal animals(animals
that are active at night), Diana Monkeys, Fully nurtured baboons, Fun tail
doves, Nile Crocodile, Cat fish, Mallard ducks(these ducks don’t mingle with
the local breeds), snakes, porcupine, tortoise, and the list goes on and on. Most of the animals feed on meat and roughages (vegetables and fruits).There are also different types of trees such
as Cinnamon, Moringa, and coconut trees.
Garden of Eden has other facilities like internet, restaurant, and fresh
fruit juices.
This
private zoo if fully licensed, normally visited by vertinary officers who check
on the animals. The Zoo is open to schools, businesses and individuals. Am sure you can satisfy your craving on a holiday or at your own free time, to see these wonderful
gifts of nature. Locate Garden of Eden ,
