King Kwanza Day This Saturday! 
August 26, 10 am
He just can’t wait to be king - come prowl around with Kwanza, the Zoo’s new African lion, as he enjoys a meat-sicle and zebra piñata in his new digs. Meet one of the keepers as they tell you everything you wanted to know about our new lion!
A fun day to roar about!
