The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has unveiled its most ambitious habitat project in two decades: a 28-acre Okavango Delta experience. The $60 million project replicates the seasonal floodplains of Botswana’s famous delta ecosystem and houses African wild dogs, ground hornbills, and a rotating cast of antelope species.
Visitors can explore the habitat on foot via an elevated boardwalk, board electric boats for guided water tours, or observe from a replica safari lodge with panoramic views.
“This isn’t a zoo exhibit — it’s a portal to one of Africa’s most magical places,” said the park’s lead designer, Sarah Lin.
