Opening December 2010, The African Forest will be the largest expansion in Houston Zoo history. Among other amenities incorporated in the new African Forest will be a jungle trading post, a restaurant overlooking the giraffes and rhinos and an authentic pygmy village complete with overnight camping facilities. One of the more exciting advances in this new construction, however, will be its remote technology. Strategically-placed cameras will showcase animals after hours, as well as allow us to broadcast special programs and keeper talks to patients at the Texas Medical Center. Ultimately, we want everyone to enjoy the African Forest experience, even if they’re unable to visit the Zoo.
