Opening June 29, the Akron Zoo’s Landon & Cynthia Knight Pride of Africa experience will reflect the beauty and mystery of the savannas of Kenya. Guests will learn about the delicate balance of life on Africa’s Southern Rift — the land of regal African lions, grass-eaters like Speke’s gazelles, large birds like storks and the native Maasai of Kenya.
Pride of Africa includes a new, expanded African lion habitat, with room for a pride of lions, a habitat for white storks and Speke’s gazelles — a new addition to your Akron Zoo. The boma will feature goats, and continue to offer a feeding experience for guests.
Guests will also enjoy an expanded train ride through the plains of Africa, catching glimpses of lions, gazelles and more! The new spray pad will give visitors an opportunity to cool down in the heat, while learning more about the clean water crisis in Africa.
