This new look comes after what has been a difficult 18 months for Colchester Zoo due to the pandemic. We spent many months closed, uncertain of what the future might bring, but your support has been unwavering, and we are so pleased to be open once again and enjoying the summer months with you all. Since reopening in April, you may have seen several changes within the zoo! We have added a fantastic new pathway for you to view our African Paddock up close from a whole new angle. We have also been able to introduce you to Mali, the female orangutan, and her daughter, Tatau, who arrived in February this year, during lockdown. As well as welcoming new arrivals, we have also continued to support our UmPhafa Reserve in South Africa and have also more recently been able to give some support to a number of conservation projects through our charity, Action for the Wild, once again, thanks to your support since reopening.
