Walk through the lush, tropical forests of Africa
to see a variety of animals and plants in their
native habitat. On the first part of your trek
you'll see Stanley cranes, okapi, and yellow-backed
duikers (a variety of antelope). Next you'll
enter a research building where you'll find
a variety of exhibits, including a group of
naked mole rats (they're actually very cute)!
As you leave the research building you'll enter
an aviary, where you can see a variety of exotic
African birds.
From the aviary it's on to the hippo pond.
Dik-diks, meerkats, and gerenuks (a giraffe-like
animal) greet you for the next part of your
tour, and next comes the highlight of the journey,
the Gorilla Research Camp. Look for Gino, a
silverback male and the head of the troop!
A suspension bridge and a bamboo fence
provide one last glimpse of the majestic gorillas
before you finally reach the end of the trail
near Harambe Station.
