The Journey into Africa takes you on an exciting expedition. Rhinos, giraffes and antelopes… Oh my!
As you approach the African Express, you follow a meandering path. Along the way interactive wooden flaps, artifacts and videos immerse travelers into the dynamic cultures of Africa.
The new African Express opened on March 15, 2007; it gives park guests an up close view of the all animals as they roam the ranges of Africa.
Your journey begins in East Africa, where you’ll see objects that look like huge boulders on the ground; but as you get closer you notice they are a group of rhinoceros. Reticulated giraffe mingle among the ostriches and Cape buffalo.
Watering holes and trees mimic a Central African forest. In the middle you’ll find an island that is a breeding site for pink-backed pelicans, western Ruppell’s vultures and saddle bill storks. The African express takes you closer to the action than ever before. Bongo’s and new to the park, Vaal rheboks, a small antelope frolic about the pond.
The tour takes you to the North African Sahara home of the Barbary red deer and red fronted gazelle. It also gives you a close look at a herd of Grevy’s zebras from South Africa.
This is just one of the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park’s many attractions, exhibits and shows. For park hours and directions visit: sandiegozoo.org
