Animal Attractions
Jungala
Have you ever been close enough to a Bengal tiger to feel the hair on the back of your neck rise? Or ridden a zip-line through a rainforest? Or looked an orangutan in the eye from a jungle outpost? Experience all that and more at Jungala, the newest addition to Busch Gardens. Set in the lush Congo area, Jungala is four acres of fun filled with up-close animal interactions, a three-story maze of rope bridges and nets for kids to climb, two signature rides and live entertainment.
Bird Gardens
Marvel at the breathtaking beauty and cheery calls of some 500 tropical birds from around the world as they paint the sky with a rainbow of brilliant colors in this free-flight aviary. Spend some time with them as they share their lush garden habitat with you, inviting you to stay awhile and see what their high-flying life is all about.
Jambo Junction
The former Busch Gardens’ Nairobi Field Station now allows greater interaction between guests and the park’s animal ambassadors. The new area is called Jambo Junction, a name inspired by a Swahili greeting. At Jambo Junction, you can participate in animal feedings, lessons in husbandry and behavior training. Featured animals include Caribbean flamingos, lemurs, cuscuses, sloths and opossums.
Myombe Reserve
Enter a lush forest habitat where gorillas and chimpanzees can be found enjoying life to the fullest as they live and play in a natural environment. One look into their eyes, and you'll feel the kind of connection that quickly dissolves any barrier between our species. Peer through the mists and fog of Myombe's Great Ape Domain for a close-up look into the world of fascinating and majestic animals that most people see only in books and documentaries, and feel your world get at once larger and smaller.
Clydesdale Hamlet
These majestic animals are among the most docile yet powerful horses in the world -- which you'll appreciate when you take your picture next to one.
Rhino Rally
Hop aboard a wild jeep tour that takes you through the wilds of Africa. It's an off-road adventure that combines the thrill of an African safari with the exhilaration and drama of an amazing water adventure, Rhino Rally takes you up-close to exotic animals and to the edge of your seat as you trek across the wide open veldt, then race to cross a rising river. Guests must be 39 inches tall and a minimum of 3 years of age accompanied by an adult to ride Rhino Rally. Other safety restrictions may apply.
Edge of Africa
Embark on a walking safari through Edge of Africa and encounter exotic African animals in naturalistic habitats, including hippos, lions, hyenas, lemurs, meerkats, crocodiles and lappet-faced vultures. Set your own pace as you explore this attraction themed around an abandoned African fishing village.
Lory Landing
This interactive, free-flight habitat is home to some of the most brilliantly colored birds you'll meet. And meet them you will - especially if you're holding their favorite treats. Step inside with a cup of fruit fresh nectar from our stand and you'll have an instant arm-load of some newfound feathered friends. Lorikeets are the first to greet you, while hornbills, pheasants and other members of the avian community roam through Lory Landing's free-flight and observational environments, warmly welcoming you into their delightful world.
Serengeti Plain
Discover the safari experience inspired by the marvels of the African Serengeti. Observe hundreds of exotic animals from a variety of perspectives. Enjoy a passing scene from our Serengeti Express Railway. Get a bird's eye view from the Skyride. Take a truck tour of the plains on a Serengeti Safari. Or go exploring along scenic walkways that feature rolling landscapes, high-ground vistas and lush vegetation all reflecting the natural beauty of the wide open African wilderness.
