July 16th, 2012. This is essentially one extremely large paddock for at least 4 white-bearded wildebeest, 3 Grants zebras and 4 ostrich, and it features a grassy meadow and numerous mature trees. While there are a couple of small observation decks for the most part it is a long walk for visitors alongside an aesthetically unappealing wire fence. When so many zoos have panoramic vistas of an African savanna it seems as if any local farmer could have hammered together some chicken wire onto poles and created his or her own Serengeti Crossing. Obviously the animals dont care either way, but one could point out that zoos (especially American zoos) are designed more for the visitor and so to have a simple wire fence is definitely not the most artful choice of containment.
