The hippo enclosure is netted over and stocked with birds including Pink-backed Pelicans, Abdim's, Yellow-billed and African Openbill Storks, Grey-necked Crowned Cranes, Hammerkop, White-headed and Palmnut Vultures, African Spoonbills, Sacred, Hadada and Southern Bald Ibis, White-headed Duck, Cape Teal, Blue-winged Goose and more. There are also separate paddocks for Lowland Nyala and Red River Hog, as well as a Malawi cichlid tank and a carp-stocked pool for the hippos.

View from the middle storey of the viewing area.
 
Is this part of a larger African or wetland precinct, @Maguari, or just a standalone exhibit? I know the nearby dome will be pantropical.
 
@Giant Panda It's basically standalone, though the area around is all African - lions, meerkats, wild dogs, bongo and kudu.
