The zoo exhibits several African species including sacred ibis, crowned crane, duiker antelope, servals, hornbills, and mona monkeys. Join our pair of African lions in keeping an eye on the Grant's zebra herd in the next exhibit or see our 600-pound Aldabra tortoise munch grass. Come explore Kamp Kiwanja and the Mara Aviaries where you can discover what it’s like to be a researcher in the African savannah.
