Construction on Phase III of Africa at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden will start this Spring. Construction is scheduled to be completed in Spring of 2013.
In Africa Phase III, the two earlier constructed exhibits, Giraffe Ridge and Cheetah Encounter, are being incorporated into the wider vista that will become Africa, offering visitors the opportunity to see legendary predators like African Lions, and the highly endangered African Wild Dog. A mixed herd of antelope, eland, and zebra, together with some of Africa’s most spectacular birds, such as Ostrich, Grey-crowned Crane, and Marabou Stork, will be the highlights of the savannah and watering hole. Overlooking the Africa exhibit will be a new dining concept that will be without rival in the region. This 350-seat (250 outdoor and 100 indoor) facility will include group rental facilities as well as an African-themed restaurant for visitors. The restaurant will provide a spectacular vista of Africa.
