Karibuni

Karibuni – Zlín Zoo’s Biggest Project

  • Area: 20 hectares

  • Theme: Central and West Africa

  • Concept:

    • Spacious enclosures that belong to the animals

    • Animals can roam freely; visitors may not always see them up close

  • Conservation:

    • Supports breeding of many species to maintain genetic diversity

    • Visitors get a real sense of wildlife

  • Special experiences (planned for the future):

    • Two camps:

      • Small camp for children (summer camps)

      • Large camp for visitors to rent for a night adventure

  • African bush elephants:

    • New modern elephant house completed

    • Elephant area takes up one third of Karibuni

    • Enclosures:

      • Large 3-hectare grassy area (B) with pond and indoor housing

      • Smaller enclosure (A) next to the pavilion
