Giraffes, rhinos and zebras are now just a hop, skip and a jump away, with a new walking track to Australia Zoo's Africa exhibit opening on Boxing Day.
The new 700m track means our guests have the option to experience the African savannah at their leisure, which will be great for families visiting over the school holidays.
Regular local visitors in particular can also make the most of the new access to the exhibit, which offers different views and corners of the zoo to explore.
Following the 24 acre exhibit's official opening in September the track will link guests from the Tiger Temple in South East Asia to the African savannah.
Safari shuttles to and from the exhibit will continue over the busy holiday period, but the new walking track will provide visitors to the zoo greater flexibility in organising their day.
