Care to post details for the purposes of enlightenment?
The zoo has several fairly extensive African exhibits which take up roughly 1/3 of their overall exhibit space. I'm not sure on sizes but their main African area features a very large and naturalistic yard for
giraffes, White Rhino, Impala, Ostrich, and European White Stork. Across from that is the
huge mixed zebra and elephant yard, although as mentioned in prior matches the elephants seem to often be restricted to a
smaller yard which is roughly the size of Chester's habitat. Across a large man-made pond--which displays
Pink-Backed Pelicans--there are further excellent habitats for
Cheetahs,
Lions,
Bongo/Blue Crane,
Sable Antelope, and African Spurred Tortoise. Prior to all of this is a small but nicely done Kopje area. I'm not a fan of mockrock, but I think this exhibit was
done very nicely and much better than SDZ's Africa Rocks. Here they have
Klipspringer mixed with Meerkat and Leopard Tortoise. Additionally there are separate enclosures for
Rock Hyrax and White-Throated Monitor respectively. That's it for the main non-Madagascar African themed areas, however there are several other African species/displays spread across the zoo. For instance, there is the very good
Okapi and Yellow-Backed Duiker habitat and the decent
gorilla exhibit. As far as the gorillas are concerned, there are multiple outdoor yards that are more or less the same as the one shown but the
indoor den is ok at best (afaik the mix detailed in that photo no longer exists). The visitor potion of the Great Ape complex also reminds me of an airport terminal honestly, but there isn't anything inherently wrong with it. Other African displays in this section are an ok Blue Monkey and Angolan Colobus rotational exhibit which isn't photographed and a
West African Black Crowned Crane/Abyssinian Ground Hornbill enclosure. Leid Jungle is home to the somewhat infamous indoor
Pygmy Hippo enclosure. This enclosure's land area also has a
section for monkeys and there is a
secondary enclosure for the zoo's De Brazza's Monkeys, Diana Monkeys, and Wolf's Guenon. Leid Jungle also has an enclosure for
Spotted-Necked Otter and Black-and-Rufous Giant Sengi/Violaceous Turaco/Home's Hinge-Backed Tortoise but I didn't find any photos of that, as well as free-flying Egyptian Fruit Bats. Finally, there's the Desert Dome. I couldn't find any good photos of the African section of the house but here there are displays for
Palestinian Wildcat (apparently they have access to additional space off-show), more
Klipspringer/Meerkats as well as African Helmeted Turtle, Nile Softshell Turtle, and African cichlids in the moat,
Bat-Eared Fox, Common Dwarf Mongoose,
Yellow-Billed Duck/Cape Teal/Hottentot Teal, African Long-Tailed Shrike, red-billed hornbill, Puff Adder, Cape Cobra, Cape Coral Cobra, Black Mamba, Angolan Python, and Giant Plated Lizard. There are also free-flying birds such as Blue-Bellied Roller, Blacksmith Plover, Cape Thick-Knee, Speckled Mousebird, and various weavers. Underneath the dome in Kingdoms of the Night, there are Naked Mole Rats, South African Springhares, Garnett's Galago, Potto, Aardvark, Ruwenzori Bats, and African Brush-Tailed Porcupine. Arabian Spiny Mouse and Bushy-Tailed Jird are also exhibited here but I don't know if those are to be saved for Asia or not.
I don't know much about Munich, but thus far this is a pretty easy win for Omaha. I will reserve voting 3-0 until someone posts more information on Munich, however.

and given what Thylo has said above about the majority of these exhibits not being African in focus, I suspect you are giving the collection points for their entirety.
