Regional/Cultural Day

Python Sinsin Gbe

The Temple of Pythons in Ouidah houses dozens of royal pythons that live freely and are never harmed. In Ouidah's Vodun tradition, the python represents wisdom and peace. Visitors can hold one, and if you are nervous, the priest will remind you that the python chose to be here, which somehow makes it feel less terrifying and more sacred.

Animals of Papua New Guinea Day

You witness tree kangaroos, birds of paradise, and saltwater crocodiles as the most distinctive wildlife native to Papua New Guinea. You notice that people in Papua New Guinea most commonly keep dogs, chickens, and native cassowaries as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
