Year opened: 2010 Ethiopia I, 2012 Ethiopia II

Ethiopia is the new face of exhibits at Zlín Zoo. In addition to meeting African animals, this zone is full of original ethnographic objects and features examples of native-style huts to shed light on the different world of people of Ethiopia.

Central to the section called Ethiopia I is the large outdoor enclosure for gelada baboons, which spreads directly above the elephant house. Connecting to it are the leopard tortoise display, as well as the largest aviary fenced with steel mesh of those found in Czech animal parks. The structure houses birds typical of Africa – wattled cranes, hamerkops, piping hornbills and marabou storks. One of the creatures that you can encounter in almost every Ethiopian village is the Somali sheep. They can be found above the gelada baboon enclosure near the stylish circular hut.

Ethiopia II is an area displaying fancied meerkats, but watched can also be antelopes called bongo, spotted hyenas, or zebus – the members of domestic cattle. 
 
The animal exhibits were made complete with a native village as well as a host of original ethnographic objects made specifically for Zlín Zoo by Konso people, members of the Ethiopian tribe. Even though their home are inhospitable slopes, this nation is famous for its farming activities. Konso people and the unique natural beauty of Ethiopia are also introduced to you through boards of appealing design, while the shelter near the aviary offers streaming of documentaries produced.

Kefa bar – an Ethiopian style, this facility has much to offer, including the delicious Ethiopian coffee and genuine cakes that the natives prepare.
