The Future
The "Safari Africa" region will be located to the north and east of the zoo land as it sits today. The area will encompass 70 acres (280,000 m2) of land, and will feature many African plains animals. On exihibit in the new region will be lions, zebras, and giraffes, which were moved in order to accommodate Asia Quest. Cheetahs, meerkats, and monkeys will also be included in the new region. Following the design of recent exhibits such as the Islands of Southeast Asia, the African savanna will attempt to merge habitats and scenery to make visitors feel as if they are on the plains. Other features will include a zipline ride, a camel ride, as well as dining facilities. Plans call for a 2014 opening.

No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
