Everything Rock Hyrax

African Rift Valley

One Exhibit. Endless Adventures. Immerse yourself in up-close animal encounters and interactive learning experiences in an open space similar to the African savanna. Interact with our giraffes and look for the chance to hand-feed them, too! We have one of North America’s largest giraffe herds, the result of a prolific breeding program with more than 200 births since 1954. You’ll also see African lions, vultures, Red River hogs, colobus monkeys – and even get to go inside a life-sized 900-year-old baobab tree replica!
