As I approached the entrance of Accra's open zoo, I was greeted by a peculiar sight. A group of monkeys, typically caged behind bars, were roaming freely around the entrance. I couldn't help but stare in amazement, wondering what other creatures were on the loose.
As I continued into the park, I soon discovered that this was no mistake. Due to a recent policy change, all of the zoo's animals were now free to wander around the park, mimicking their natural habitats as best as possible.
I witnessed giraffes majestically sauntering across the open savannah, and even caught a glimpse of a pack of hyenas running wild through the fields.
However, it wasn't all fun and games. Signs warning visitors of potential dangers littered the paths, and the news of dog bites on the rise was spreading.
It became evident that while this open concept was breathtakingly beautiful, it was also somewhat dangerous. Many dog owners had begun to refrain from bringing their furry companions along to avoid the risk of them getting bitten by a zoo animal.
Regardless of the risks, Accra's open zoo continued to thrive and draw in large crowds of tourists and locals alike, eager to witness nature in its most raw form.
As I exited the park, I couldn't help but feel inspired by this revolutionary approach to zoo-keeping. Who knows what the future holds for zoos around the world? Maybe the days of caged animals are coming to an end.
