Area Features
Â
Journey through Heart of Africa while African lions nap in the shade, a cheetah sprints around the Watering Hole, and zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles roam across the savanna. Watch the lively vervet monkeys play in Jackâs Camp, then stand in wonder as giraffes provide a majestic silhouette as the sun begins to set.
Meet Charlie!
This region's newest addition, Masai giraffe calf, Charlie, will be on the savanna this coming year when the weather allows.
Spring has sprung!
Throughout mid-to-late March, the savanna animals will be slowly moved from their winter housing to their outdoor habitats.
