Cape of Africa

The Cape of Africa is officially open! Come visit warthogs, Cape porcupines, servals, Aldabra tortoises and more!

CAPE OF AFRICA EXPANSION

At $3.9 million, the Cape of Africa is our biggest expansion ever!

Featuring Cape porcupines, servals and warthogs, these unique new exhibits will immerse guests in a fun and authentic African experience. Here are just a few of the new expansion features:

Commanding views of the new exhibits from the front entrance of the Zoo.
New, larger giraffe yard for George, Porter and Hardee Star
Areas for interactive education encounters, keeper talks and small group presentations.
Soothing, peaceful stream meandering through the expansion and creating a sense of calm.
Separate entrance for groups and student field trips further streamlining and enhancing safe entry for all guests.

Following the goals presented in the Zoo’s 2013 master plan, completion of this exhibit will propel the Zoo to new levels as a leading attraction and destination in Chattanooga. It also furthers the Zoo’s missions of conservation and education by engaging with our guests through animal interactions, educational programs, and up-close experiences.
