Is this an enclosed elevated walkway that transverses several exhibits? That's what it appears to be from the photos.
 
@Jambo The lion (one) and tiger (two) exhibits are all quite impressive-- especially given their advanced age! They are very large, lushly planted hillside enclosures with small rock pools and wooden climbing structures.

@Great Argus Not quite. There are large stone walls that separate each of these mountainside enclosures, and they are each topped by castle-like turrets. It is from these turrets that these pictures were taken.

This picture shows what it looks like to walk down into one of the turrets:

And this picture that I just uploaded shows what it looks like to look from one turret to another:
