Your ticket gives you access to a wide range of habitat zones, including:

Africa Live: Explore the African savanna and see lions, giraffes, zebras, and ostriches in habitats that reflect their natural environment. Learn about these animals and how they live in the wild.

The habitat has space for roaming, climbing, and exploring, along with waterfalls and browsing gardens. Guests can view the gorillas from multiple spots around the area.
