Destination Africa
Trek down steamy tropical rainforest pathways alive with lush plants and singing, colourful birds. Along the way, you’ll see gorillas, colobus monkeys and mandrills in their family groups. But don’t let the cute primates distract you – keep a watchful eye out for snakes and crocodiles too. Then, wander over to the savannah to see hippos underwater in their huge pool, giraffes and zebras grazing in the distance and lions snoozing in the sunshine.
