Masoala-hall at Zürich Zoo
Do they have any tenrec species romping through here?

I didn't think so, but see DesertRhino150's post below.

The range (and numbers) of free-roaming animals, and the general atmosphere of the exhibit make it one of my absolute favourites.


are all the plants Madagascan species, or are they not that exact?

Initially the plants used were tropical species from around the world. They aim to ideally replace the non-Malagasy plants (initially over 1/4 of the plants were sourced from the zoo's plant nurseries in Madagascar.) Ten years on, I don't know how well they've been implementing this.
 
the tenrecs have been taken out of the hall a few years ago, because they ate to much of the other inhabitants....
