This is a 12 hour trip, but worth it. It says English speaking guide, but he did not speak a word of English, he just held up paper with what to do in English. If you go in December/January make sure you rug up as it can be very cold at the zoo like -8 etc. Over all we enjoyed the trip. They pick you up from your accommodation, but they don't drop you back there, which was very strange, we had to walk back late at night.
