model of new elephant exhibit

It will be much more naturalistic than Stonehenge at the WAP, I can assure you.

I certainly hope so!
Where are the white rhinos at RPZ now? I used to love the very minimal barrier that separated them from visitors in their old exhibit.

They were moved several years ago to the field exhibit that used to house nyala (and years before that had a separated cement pool inside it for pygmy hippos). We lost the male rhino about a year ago but still have one female living with two spekes gazelles, two kori bustards, one marabou stork. Their exhibit (much nicer than the former rhino yard) is for now the south boundary of the zoo, but the new elephant exhibit is being built just south of that. One end of the rhino exhibit is currently blocked off to make way for construction of the new walkway which will also incorporate a new overlook into the rhino yard.
