Location: Auckland Zoo, Auckland, North Island

Tip: The African Savannah has officially opened... your kids will love it!

Local Knowledge: This world class zoo is an active conservation organisation committed to the protection and future of wildlife

Our new African savannah opens to the public tomorrow, however, our large flock of African lovebirds are taking a little longer than expected to settle into their new home.

To give them extra time and space they need to familiarise themselves with their new environment, the opening of the walkthrough aviary section of this new area (also home to our leopard tortoises, and some of our meerkats and the meerkat tunnels) has been postponed.

We will be opening the aviary to visitors as soon as our bird experts are confident the lovebirds are ready, and will let everyone know with updates on our website, on Facebook and via our email newsletters.
