What makes it special

On the plains

On the plains

Here, you’ll find herbivorous hoofstock like zebras and giraffes flanked by their natural predators, the lions and cheetahs. A whiff of the white rhinos’ communal dung piles welcomes you and you might feel the hair on the back of your neck rise when you realise you’re being watched by our pack of painted dogs.
Canid conditioning

Canid conditioning

The African painted dog exhibit boasts a special feature – a designated area where you can watch the keepers perform daily conditioning of the painted dogs for routine checks. Training activities of such nature were previously done only in back-of-house areas. By providing the opportunity to witness these up-close and to interact with the keepers, we hope guests will gain a deeper understanding of the painted dogs and how they are cared for at the Zoo.
Sharing the limelight

Sharing the limelight

If the animals approach the glass panels at the observation huts, you’ll be able to get a close-up view of the ‘painted’ patterns of the dogs’ coats, or the black ‘tear lines’ of the cheetahs, which are thought to work like sunshades.
African adventure
