Year of opening: 2022

In the African zone, on the meadow in front of the giraffe pavilion, a new exhibit was created, becoming home to some returning residents of our zoo: rock hyraxes, African spurred tortoises, and leopard tortoises. Sharing this exhibit are also yellow-necked spurfowl, Cape parrots, white-bellied go-away-bird, and trumpeter hornbills.

A new, larger aviary was prepared for the crowned eagles, and their original aviary has become the new home for the Abyssinian ground hornbills. The exhibit is pleasantly complemented by large rocks, bronze statues of a king and queen from Nigeria, and imaginative artistic elements.

With the opening of this new exhibit, the first phase of the educational and breeding center for vultures was completed. In the second phase, the Gora Ark was built—the longest vulture aviary in the Czech Republic—which was opened on August 6, 2023.
