*Question of the Episode: What African exhibit would you like to see get a feature?:* If you've been following the channel for awhile, and you know your stuff when it comes to zoos, then Kilimanjaro Safaris is most likely at the top of your list. With it being arguably the most immersive exhibit in the nation, that would make sense! Kilimanjaro was actually supposed to get an episode last year, and possibly even this year. However, even after 8 or so rides, I still don't believe I have enough or the right footage to capture its magic. The ride is very quick, bumpy, and as expected the animals don't always cooperate. *STOP BY THE GIFT SHOP (Look for DISCOUNTS at the top of the page)* 1.

Here’s a hidden gem I guarantee NO ONE has told you about - an African Exhibit that lets you see penguins and zebras at the same time - the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, Texas!
You should do the African Tram at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. I know it's unconventional, but it could be pretty interesting and unique. With their Northern White Rhino research, half of the Park being a nature reserve for endangered habitat, etcetera.
Madagascar actually has an extinct species of hippopotamus so mixing them with lemurs kind of makes sense. Also Wild Africa at binder park zoo is one of the most underrated african exhibits around.
Like the version of The Lion King & The Lion Guard! Visit the Woodland Park Zoo & the San Francisco Zoo someday because they have cool African exhibits!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘Yet, I would like to get a feature of the San Francisco Zoo's African Savannah exhibit!🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒Anyways, Zak, here are 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend.... 1) Which gorilla at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park passed away from old age yesterday? 2) How many new African Bush or Forest Elephants would you recommend the Oakland Zoo to welcome in the future when Osh moves to the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary this coming fall? 3) How many years ago did the San Francisco Zoo originally house Nile Hippopotamuses? 4) What year did Little One the polar bear passed away from a renal failure at the Cincinnati Zoo?
Well, I’ve been following you since 2018 and so far, all the African Themed Exhibits including Congo Expedition and Heart of Africa at my home town in Columbus were already featured but honestly, if I would pick for the question of the episode, I’m gonna go with the Congo Gorilla Forest and Madagascar at the Bronx and hopefully the new Leopard Forest in Nashville.
For African exhibits, I'll list a couple: - Toroto Zoo's African Savanah and Rainforest - Granby Zoo's Africa Like I know its unlikely you'll go to Canada, and I am biased to them, but their African exhibits are pretty good.
Im thinking about going 2 a zoo 4 my birthday next month. Im not sure if i wanna go cuz my fam is not the walking type and they cant handle the texas heat.
Wild tour, Zach! I definitely think you should feature Lion Camp at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. It still remains the greatest lion exhibit I’ve ever been to. The encounter I had with the late great lion king Izu in March 2019 is the greatest experience I’ve ever had and one I will never forget. Nowadays, I believe Izu’s great granddaughters and a new male named Bo alternate sharing the exhibit. But Lion Camp is still a great exhibit
As a 4-H member who gets to go to a zoo apprenticeship program at Busch Gardens every year. I can confidently say that the hippos are my fav. I’ve gotten to clean the hippo barn multiple times, messy but fun. Even got to go inside the lion and hyena barn to see how the contraption to swap enclosures work, honestly looked like something from Jurassic Park.
Awesome tour, Zach. The African exhibit I would love to see is Kilimanjaro Safaris. I know it’s a timed experience but it’s one of my personal favorites. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic episode Zach definitely wants to make me visit Busch Gardens Tampa and check out this exhibit. As for African exhibits I would like to see I’m interested to see African Grasslands at Henry Doorly and what your thoughts on it are. Also cannot wait for the next episode for one of the most famous Australian exhibits in the country. Sorry for the Ted talk lol, have a fantastic day.
I just think porcupines are the cutest 🫶 I love their little faces and the sounds they make. This was very well done and informational, wish I could go!
7:36 and bonus, i've heard on extinct or alive, that madagascar once had there own species of hippo a long time ago, but due to people being stupid, there extinct.
Out of all the Zoos in Florida I've been to, Busch Gardens' Edge of Africa is the best for experiencing lions and hyenas!! I'm not sure how to explain it, but for some reason it brings the feels of Animal Kingdom's Kilimonjaro Safari but on a more up close and personal scale, plus you get to spend as much time as you want with them. Thanks for the shout out, bro! I can't wait for our next "Dynamic Zoo-uo" adventure, wherever it may be.
