What to expect of Bristol Zoo Project's new African Forest habit as it prepares to open this week
Discover the wonders of the African Forest at Bristol Zoo Project as it opens its doors this week, offering visitors a unique experience of endangered gorillas and more.
From April 1, visitors at Bristol Zoo Project will be able to step beneath the tree canopy and be transported to the forests of central Africa, home to the zoo’s gorillas, mangabeys, crocodiles and tropical parrots, as the habitat, African Forest, officially opens its doors to the public.
It follows after the gorilla troop was transported to Bristol Zoo Project from the former Bristol Garden at Clifton.
BristolWorld had the opportunity to talk with Bristol Zoo Project’s Chief Executive, Dr Justin Morris, about the new habitat, what to expect and how members have reacted so far.
