Starting a Huge African area in Franchise Mode! | San Bernardino Zoo | Planet Zoo 

My favorite weekly dose of dopamine

Ok I was watching this video so excited for all of the potential this area could have, and then I thought of something. I have noticed that there is not a single creator that I have seen make 1 huge African savannah habitat. I feel like the savannah area could have one huge centerpiece with all the interspersed enrichment animals together in the middle of it, with different indoor houses for different sizes, and then on the outskirts there could be other animals such as the caracal and the cheetah and things like that, idk but I really feel like that would be absolutely amazing and when you come out of the jungle area you see this huge exhibit with different animals you would see in Africa, all in one huge exhibit! I have another suggestion that I thought of but it’s more like a mini section like the desert house. I noticed you didn’t put dingoes in the Australian area ( to be fair they probably wouldn’t fit in well there anyway) and I thought it would be cool if you made a section called canids of continents. In this section there would be three animals: the African wolf dog, the dhole, and the dingo. You could also add wolves or hyenas or other species similiar, especially if something new comes in a dlc. I really feel like those animals are unrepresented in most zoos, and making a section or education center dedicated to these types of animals would be stunning and unique. Thanks for this video and I can’t wait to see what you will cook up in the rest of Africa!❤❤❤

One of the two African rhino species would be really cool for the savanna area, they're my favorite animals in this game. The African forest section also looks incredible already.

7:00 a savannah with giraffes, zebra, gazelles and rhinoceros. In my local zoo wildlands emmen they are housed together.

This is me and my boyfriends weekly tradition! We grab some chipotle and munch while watching San Bernardino! Super excited to see Africa grow!

Wait the trick with the monorail to create smoothly sloped terrain for paths is so good, can't believe I've never seen that before.

I'm new to Planet Zoo, and also Planet Zoo content, so this might be a pretty basic suggestion, but for an Africa exhibit, I love the idea of having red river hogs in as many habitats as they are compatible with. I've been playing the hame only a while, bit anytime I look at animals to include in an Africa exhibit, the little piggies seem to be on the list of things that are compatible. It's taken them from an animal I had no idea existed, to one I'm kind of starting to love I'm imagining a sign at the start of the Africa section, explaining how friendly they are, and then asking kids to see how many they can spot as they explore, then putting a small number in each exhibit they're safe to go in!!

Very excited for the Africa area! Staring off with a bang. The entrance is drawing me in.

Im so happy that you have chose to build in your African zone because I have just started to build my African safari jeep tour in my franchise zoo .this will definitely help me find inspiration.😊

This is already so beautiful. I love that you're doing such a lush entrance to the African area instead of a typical arid theme.

Can't wait to "explore" the finished result of this area, it sounds so cool! Always love your builds man ^^

i'm always so in awe of your foliage work, it always looks so so natural!! gorgeous, as per usual! love the exhibits

I'd love to see African Wild Dogs/Painted Dogs and Cheetahs! Those were two animals I loved seeing when I volunteered at my local zoo.

I can't wait to see you build a giraffe habitat 🦒 I find trying to make their shelters reslly difficult, they need so much height!

Your the only planet zoo youtuber I still watch

Cant wait to see what animals next

You're such an amazing builder! I love following this series and look forward to every episode. Your African area already looks so good. I would love to see an African Elephant or a rhino or smth :)

Absolutely love these videos. It has inspired me to play planet zoo again. Really excited to see the lion's habitat think a replica of the lion king's pride rock would look amazing.

LET'S FREAKING GO!

If there is an animal, you're putting in here that isn't one you already said, I would like to suggest Nyala. We have them at my zoo, and they actually have three babies now. The last one was born a couple weeks ago. I don't take care of them, they're not on my feed list; however, I did bottle feed the male "Nigel" when he first came here three years ago. He actually came here when I was an intern during covid and we're still friends. Nyala in general are just really cool antelope and they would do great in an African savanna area. Also, I'm assuming you already have references and ideas, but if you are looking more, I would also suggest Bush Gardens Tampa. They have their "Edge of Africa" and it's the most impressive African savanna area I've seen in person. My favorite part of it is how in one area, you have the lions and hyenas "share" a cave and they are right next to each other and there is a moat behind them that guests can't see and beyond the moat is the big African savanna safari with all the hoof stock. My computer's wallpaper is the picture I took of the male lion there in the foreground with an eland and giraffe in the background. One in a million shot and now it's my wallpaper. Regardless, I'm super excited to see what you do.

Beautiful start to what will most certainly be an incredible addition. Looking forward to the progress!

I would love to see the African Painted Dogs. They are one of my favorite African animals.

Im so excited for the african area to be built!!! l live in south africa so seeing all the animals that ive seen all my life will be so nice

I'm excited about this new area!

So much love for the exhibit animals, you build such nice and interesting terrariums for them! As for other African animals, I just want elephants 🐘

Like I have said, I would rally like to see the Aardvark, it was the first animal I ever made a habit for and I just love Aardvarks

LOVE IT! Been following since the beginning! The attention to every detail is fantastic

Another great episode! Hype for Africa!

cant wait for the tour !

Love your videos man, keep up the great work!

Loved this style of video!!

So cool im really exited what you will make out of this new area!!!

love this series so much been with it since day 1. I look forward to seeing Okapi and Bongo. they are such underappreciated animals and among my favourite hoof stock

Great job starting off such an exciting area. Can't wait for more African building!!

I'm so excited for the okapis. they're one of my favorites! giraffes too! if you need inspiration for the okapis, Sacramento zoo has a fabulous brand new okapi exhibit where you walk on an elevated pathway into their exhibit.

Finally, we are going into Africa. Yeah, i think its a good idea to go to another area in the zoo after three episodes of Africa and then back again, else maybe people will get bored. I have a feeling the Sable Antelope gets underutilized as an animal for Africa, due to them not being as popular as other African ungulates in the game, so it would be cool to see it.

This is a great start for the African region, with all the little details. I'm also very curious about the final result of this area.

Love the video so much❤😊

So cool!!!!! I waiting so long for this

Man!!!! Great video!! I'd love to see a civet and an amur leopard (they are my fav species of leopards) as well as nile crocs!!!! they are really cool

Excited for this one

i was thinking it would be so cool if that area with the exhibits here was closed in like a small cave/tunnel, i feel like it would really give that closed off feel you were going for and also feel more interactive for the guests if you put like tree roots coming through. awesome video as always!

A mixed habitat would be cool for this area: Giraffe, Rhino, Zebra, Ostrich

So mush inspiration like from were 😂and the think yo😮u bult are so great

keep up the good work!!!! I would visit this zoo :)

This is shaping up to be brilliant! You've already mentioned plans for some of my personal wants for an Africa section (wild ass, red river hog, hippo, okapi, caracal), but I'd also love to see builds for the cheetah and the pygmy hippo! Aardvarks make for great smaller filler animal in between the big savannah sections, similar to meerkats and fennec foxes. I also haven't seen a lot of PZ creators tackle dromedaries, so that would be cool - I feel like they offer a lot of potential for creative builds. You already have red river hogs, but maybe you could also fit in the warthogs in the savannah section? I feel like they are very underrated among PZ players. (At this point it would be easier to ask what not to include haha) I already adore your ideas with the forest section, can't wait to steal them! Coincidentally, after finishing my Oceania/SEA section that I have been building for the last year, I will now turn my attention to Africa, so your videos will come in quite handy 😂 Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to see what's next!

I can't wait

Ohhhhh super excited to be back at SBZ! Is it silly that I am just as excited for the filler episodes as the African section? 😅 Love seeing the pieces come together!!

Plains Zebra is my favorite animal in game, it would be very cool if they were in the savanna

I would love a Red River Hog exhibit and since their is tons and tons of safari animals like the basic Zebra and rhinos I think u should a safari area. Then another area for the “prey” deer animals

I completey forgot this was coming today! What a lovely surprise haha

I loved the video! It already gave me so much inspiration for something I'm building at the game. For animal suggestions, I would really suggest the Okapi, it is a very cool animal and I think it would fit pretty well in this jungle section, they're kinda big and eccentric and I think they could share habitat with some other animals like pygmy hippos or Nyallas. I would recomend the Mandrill (side note: I think the mandrills would fit preety well with the red river hog) and the bongos, but there aren't many things to talk about those two. I hope this comment had helped you with some ideas or anything to the zoo👍

Yayyyyyyy African lions are here

I can't wait to see how you develop this area! Elefants are definitely a must, because I recon you'd build something grand for them. There's also potential to build an oasis area, maybe as a food court?

I love how he makes the constitution area before the video to make it feel a lot more realistic

I’m really excited for this new section of your zoo and I’m really impressed with far its come since you first started the entrance to entire zoo. If you are open to requests - I’m huge elephant lover and if you can, please make exhibit with waterfall with decent sized river or stream and it make it very lush! Keep up the fantastic work, subbed!

Playing PZ while I watch!! Woo love this game and love your zoo. Still hoping we'll get good signs for all animals. I'm disappointed the tortoises have no signs/statues

I’m looking forward to the Africa area

Really hyped for this huge African zone. Since you're asking for suggestions... I wouldn't suggest an animal per se, but I would really love to see an oasis! It could be multiple habitats, similair to how you did the Amazone river habitats, but it could also be just a beautiful piece of landscaping setting the scene for the shops and all that in the African zone? Or an oversized Dromedary habitat. Anyways, I am hyped as always! I am always looking forward to the arid zones as it shows creative rockworks

Holyshit I had such a fucked up day. I really needed this ! Thank you

You should make a giant savannah that has a safari jeep going through it

Make sure the big five is all there ❤

Great video again... Have you ever done a FM for fonts or a video for adding fonts?

if I was going to suggest some African animals, I'd say Giraffes are a MUST, with your in game know how I'm sure you could rig up a feeding station where guests can get up close?

I really hope you end up adding the African Wild Dogs and Hyenas at some point!!!

Could you please add African Wild Dogs. They are just amazing animals and are adorable.

Love these videos! I’m sure you have been asked, but what are the songs called? I love the remix!

Bonobos are a must have

i think you should make a huge habitat to house like 15 different species

I would love to see some blue wildebeest honestly

Some things I really want to see in this area are some obvious choices such as zebras, giraffes, lions and black rhinos. I would also love to see spotted hyenas, okapis, some type of African ungulate like a gazelle or wildebeest, African penguins, gorillas and whenever we get them secretary birds, shoebills and honey badgers

Will you be uploading the full zoo onve your done? I hate building but i want to see all the animals

When did you add Armadillos ZSH? I noticed one mature on the notification section

I can't wait for the Giraffes to come into the zoo if you are going to be putting them into the zoo 😊😊😊

Would be really cool if the Savannah was all the herbivore like in real life

For the river have the river tour ride going around it

Really excited to see this area finally start. The winding path and the naturalistic terrariums look real good! And as for animals to put in the savannah, I'm a big fan of ostriches myself, so I hope they get a spot.

On animal I would love to see is an okapi. Idk if they are in the game tho

could you uplode a un edited version of the vidio or if you have deleted it could you do it for the next vidio. Amazing start to the area always the best part. :)

I was already excited to see the Africa area, because i know youre going to do all different aspects of Africa, not just savannah and desert. Its too big of a continent not to utilise all of its diverse environment.

if someday planet zoo make secretary bird you must put it in this area. for now i think lion, girafe, elephant, and zebra is the most essensial part of africa. but i would like to see another animal like hyena, gorila, african wild dog, and another ungulates

do you have any tips on building and decorating outside of a enclosure

Not Africa related, but since this zoo is in California it would be cool if you added some of the animals that live there like sea lions, cougars, grizzly bears, rattlesnakes, and maybe other North American animals?

What dlc do the mud walls come in?

Hey mine game won't save and then I can't leave the game, you have some tips?

I recomend you to get inspired by bioparc valencia, the best african zoo in the world by far!

As much as i love this i cant help but feel as is this area would be terrible for me to walk. My knees would be rebelling halfway up the slope

the giraffe zebra struisvogel an elphant andthe hyena

When you said elephants are coming to SBZ, what elephant species are you going to add? Are you going to add the African elephant or the Indian Elephant?

savanna elephant pls

If I remember right, you mentioned wanting the zoo to be accessible for i.e. wheelchair users when building the main entrance? If you want to be even more inclusive, maybe you could add some more secluded sitting areas for guests with mental disabilities that might get overstimulated? This very foresty area would work really well for that Of course that's not an actual concern in Planet Zoo, I just thought it would make it even more realistic :)

I would like to see lions and elephants

When are You gonna make the himalya section with the pandas leopard and Brown bear

Hey I was wondering where the name sanbernardino comes from. Because I live in Switzerland and here there is a pass that is called so. Can it be that the name comes from there. Love your videos love greetings❤

Hi! I don’t know if you will respond to this because I am very late. I am going to Singapore next week and am going to one of the zoos. I am torn between Singapore zoo and the night safari. Is it hard to see the animals in the night safari and are the enclosures at Singapore zoo small. These two things are what trip advisor says, are they true? And which one was your favourite?

can you do african wild dogs. no one ever does them

I wonder how much it would cost to build this place irl. I would put down 50mil to kick off the fundraising lol

Can you add the blank rhino in the zoo?😊

Hi its me again can you make lemur habita like in sigapor zoo for orangutans and name that brekfest with lemurs(or something like that and Sorry for my english its no my neitif laughich)

me like wombats❤
