It's not huge but definatly an adequate size. It is pretty long and narrow and has two viewing areas, one through glass and one over a moat. Another great thing about this exhibit is that they've cleared up some of the plants at the back so now you can see over the cheetah exhibit, over a hidden fence and into an exhibit for scimitar-horned oryx and dromedary camels. It looks like thay're all in the same exhibit.

But isn't the oryx/camel exhibit (which originally housed zebra and gazelles, more appropriately) being rather crudely renovated to exhibit a small group of male gorillas? Or is only a portion of the former central savanna being altered?

No, the former zebra island is the site for the gorilla exhibit. It is just a huge mountain of dirt tho. When I went on Saturday you could easily see into the camel exhibit (in fact, I managed to get a photo with a cheetah lying in the foreground and camels in the background).
However, I believe you may be able to see the gorillas from the vervet monkey exhibit, because they are in a similar area.
