Conflict occurs when lions attack livestock, and herders retaliate by fatally shooting, spearing, or poisoning lions. Lions in this region of northern Kenya are highly vulnerable as they come into regular conflict with farmers who live alongside the large carnivores. One such project is Ewaso Lions, which helps to conserve Kenya’s lions and other large carnivores by promoting coexistence between people and wildlife. The Columbus Zoo supports many projects in Africa, which are highlighted in Heart of Africa.
Spy on vervet monkeys raiding Jack’s Camp, then stand in wonder as giraffes gallop together as the sun sets on the savanna. Watch a cheetah sprint around the watering hole while zebras, wildebeests and gazelles roam across the savanna. Journey through Heart of Africa while a caravan of camels parade by and African lions nap in the shade. Feel the spirit, the soul of Heart of Africa! Who You'll Meet Look out across the sweeping African savanna where zebra graze, cranes dance and gazelle leap. The new exhibit is home to a variety of species including giraffes, lions, cheetahs, gazelles, impalas, zebras, ostriches, and monkeys. Hear the rhythmic drumming pulsing through the plaza and the buzz of a busy marketplace.Ĭontinue your journey through the Ajabu National Park where a plane has just landed and hoofstock gather around the watering hole for a midday drink. As you walk through the portal you’ll be transported with the sights and sounds of the Mudiwa Village all around you. Spanning across 43-acres, this is the Zoo’s largest region to date.
